In the early 1970s, the Mizar set out to revolutionize travel by merging the worlds of driving and flying! Named after a star in the Big Dipper, this innovative vehicle combined the rear half of a Cessna Skymaster with a Ford Pinto. Imagine cruising down the highway and taking off from your local airport—all in one incredible machine!
The vision was bold: a roadable aircraft that could seamlessly transition from road to sky. But on September 11, 1973, tragedy struck during a test flight, resulting in the loss of its pilot and designer, Henry Smolinski, and his associate, Harold Blake. This heartbreaking event underscored the immense engineering challenges in creating a vehicle that could do it all.
While the Mizar may have never taken to the skies as intended, its legacy remains a testament to human ingenuity and the pursuit of dreams. 🚀✨
