Hi,

the NASA Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments AGATE.

 

[Triton]

Model of NASA AGATE general aviation concept airplane from 1996.

From NASA Images:

Photo illustrates an advanced general aviation concept airplane. The pusher propeller - driven configuration seats 4 to 6 people (including pilot) in mid-wing, three-surface twin tail-boom configuration. The design concept incorporates natural laminar flow, ice protection, winglets and stall-departure-resistant flight dynamics.

Many thanks, Stargazer and Hesham for your help with the AGATE concept. In that old magazine it lacked any project identity and was described as a flying car.

Thread split from the flying cars topic where it absolutely did not belong!
