Roadable Aircraft - Consolidated Vultee Model 111

The Consolidated Vultee Model 111 was a side-by-side two seat all-metal low-wing cantilever roadable monoplane. The Model 111 was powered by an air-cooled horizontally-opposed piston engine in the rear fuselage, driving a three-blade fixed-pitch Hartzell airscrew immediately aft of cruciform tail surfaces.

It is believed testing of the Model 111 was conducted in 1945. Consolidated Vultee's interest in the possibilities of roadable aircraft types continued, resulting in the Model 116, developed under the direction of Theodore P. Hall and flown in 1947. This differed in concept to the Model 111, being an automobile with detachable flight section.
