Airscoot was an American automobile brand built by Aircraft Products in Wichita, Kansas only in 1947 .

The Airscoot was a foldable, two-seat, open car powered by an air-cooled single cylinder engine that developed 2.6 bhp (1.9 kW) of power. The tank only held about 1.25 liters of gasoline. The whole car was only 940 mm long and weighed only 33 kg.
