The paper describes preliminary design of the Magic Dragon aircar, a fully integrated automobile and airplane with automated conversion, like magic. The design also features: The Magic Dragon is intended to be used on a daily basis as a productivity tool and recreational vehicle. For the former case, preliminary estimates indicate that the baseline trip may be accomplished via Magic Dragon in about the same time as would be required for travel via airliner or private auto and airplane. For the latter case, vacation travel or sport flying may be attractive from the view of scheduling. Designing the ‘Magic Dragon’ aircar is a “labor of love” work in progress by the author-inventor, whose background is in aerospace engineering.
