Amazing Photos of the 1985 Tritan A2 Aerocar
Tritan Ventures from Ann Arbor, Michigan designed the A2, an aerodynamically advanced vehicle with a drag coefficient of 0.15 and stability from airfoils that produced a sail effect for added thrust.
Constructed from fiberglass with a monocoque design, the lightweight 900-pound A2 was powered by a 440cc Syvaro rotary engine, delivering 30 horsepower and achieving 80 miles per gallon. Classified as a motorcycle due to its three-wheel configuration, the A2 caught the interest of Domino’s Pizza, which ordered 10 units for delivery vehicle trials. Despite initial trials, the A2 did not secure a permanent role in Domino’s delivery fleet, ending its prospects in that market.
