Tritan A2 / Aerocar 2 - AllCarIndex

The unique design of the A2 has such low wind resistance that it requires only half as much horsepower as a motorcycle, and only a third as much as a car. The very low drag coefficient (Cd) of .150 translates into extreme aerodynamic stability for such a lightweight vehicle (weight is approx. 900 pounds, depending on drive train installed).

The vehicle’s Amick Arch can handle gusty crosswinds (while its vertical airfoil-shaped fixed sails convert side wind to forward thrust). Centers of gravity, side pressure, and lateral resistance are optimized to provide maximum vehicle safety.

Body is monocoque/fiberglass construction, with urethane nose and tail bumpers. Can be registered in most U.S. states as a motorcycle.

Other safety features: wedge-shaped front end that tends to deflect impacts; a highly visible profile in traffic; panoramic windshields; a collapsible steering column; exceptional aerodynamic stability; all-weather radial tires; quartz halogen headlights; and a manually operated emergency brake.
