Fulton Airphibian
The Fulton FA-2 Airphibian was an American roadable aircraft manufactured in 1946.
==Development==
Designed by Robert Edison Fulton, Jr., it was an aluminum-bodied car, built with independent suspension, aircraft-sized wheels, and a six-cylinder 165 hp engine. The fabric wings were easily attached to the fuselage, converting the car into a plane. Four prototypes were built.
In December 1950, the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) (later to become the FAA) certified one of the prototypes and gave it an 1A11 Aircraft Specification, N74104.〔http://airphibian.com/FAASpecs.htm〕 Lou Achitoff, was the CAA test pilot.〔http://airphibian.com/Danbury2.htm〕 The N74154 is the aircraft that is today in the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.
The craft made its debut in November 1946 at Danbury, Connecticut, and they were built in Danbury by Robert Fulton, President; Franz Alverez, VP and Engineer; Ted Polhemus Mechanical and Electrical Master; Frazer Dougherty, Test Pilot; Wayne Dasher (Dash), top flight A&E Mechanic; Fred Underhill, Tool and Die Maker; Ross Stevens, Aeronautical Engineer and Structural Engineer.〔http://airphibian.com/Danbury.htm〕 Financial concerns forced Fulton to sell to a company that never developed it.〔Martin, Douglas. - New York/Region: ("Robert E.
