A number of carplanes (aka: roadable aircraft, flying car) have recently appeared on the market or will be appearing soon. The purpose of this site is to contrast and compare these vehicles and to provide the latest information on each. It is an unbiased site that is not funded by any of the manufacturers.

Below is a summary of currently available carplanes, or carplanes that are expected to hit the market sometime in the next 5 years. There are 6 real competitors and I have ranked them from 1 (best) to 6 (worst) based on their relative overall attractiveness. A lot of weight is given to vehicles that can actually be purchased or that have a flying prototype. Anybody can design something that looks good in simulation or in driving tests but its getting the darn thing to fly in a stable manner that is the big hurdle.
Terrafugia has been very quite since being purchased by the Chinese. Even though they have a flying prototype progress in bringing their carplane to market seems to have stalled.
