The Stout Skycar is the collective name for a series of 4 US light aircraft, the first of which made its maiden flight in 1931. The aircraft, in the Skycar I version, was 7.3 meters long with a wingspan of 13.1 meters. The drive was provided by a single Michigan Rover R-267 engine with a capacity of 75 HP. The maximum speed was about 150 km / h, and the range was up to 510 kilometers.

The planes, collectively called "Skycar" or "Sky Car", were designed and invented from scratch by designer William Bushnell Stout, who contributed to the development of the Ford Trimotor. The designer assumed that the Skycar planes would be mass-produced, as cheap as possible in operation and very easy to pilot. Of course, it was assumed that they would be used on the civilian market, mainly in the US. Perhaps William Stout assumed that his machines would make a similar revolution in aviation as the Henry Ford model T in the automotive industry. Ultimately, however, only four "Skycar" machines were created, numbered from I to IV. The Skycar II version was created in 1941, received a four-wheeled chassis, reinforced structure, and a 90 HP Franklin O-200 engine was used as the drive. Interestingly, the machine was tested by the US Air Force as a light transport aircraft, but it probably burned down in a hangar fire in 1942. Production was discontinued.
