The term "flying car" is often used to include roadable aircraft and hovercars.

A hover car is a personal vehicle that flies at a constant altitude of up to few meters above the ground and used for personal transportation in the same way a modern automobile is employed.

A roadable aircraft is a hybrid vehicle that combines the flying capability of an aircraft with the option of being driven as an automobile on the ground.

An aircraft is a machine that is able to fly by gaining support from the air.
