The '''Aerauto PL.5C''' was a [[roadable aircraft]] developed in [[Italy]] in the early 1950s. It was a high-wing two-seat [[monoplane]] whose wings could be folded to quickly transform it into an automobile. It was different from many such projects in that it used its [[pusher propeller]] (powered by a [[Continental C85]]) for propulsion not only in the air, but on the road as well. Development was abandoned in [[1953 in aviation|1953]].

Designed by aircraft engineer [[Luigi Pellarini]], the Aerauto was built by [[Carrozzeria Colli]] in [[Milan]].
