The tricycle gear aircraft uses the same Lycoming engine and folding wing (for storage) as the Aerocar. Elimination of the automotive components provided the weight-saving necessary to add two passengers. Price is $9,995.

Worth, Texas, USA, with Temco Missiles & Aircraft Division of Ling-Temco Electronics Inc., Dallas, Texas, for quantity production of M.B.
