Aircars
An aircar is a type of automobile designed for travel in the air. It is distinguished from cars that drive on the ground, without any antigravs, and also from the hovercar, a similar vehicle, but limited to hovering over the ground, whereas an aircar can take flight at much higher altitudes. Also, at least some aircars have wings.

Apocrypha
According to non-canon sources, aircars were also common on Betazed, Feringinar, Qo'noS, and in the Orion constellation.
In FASA’s Star Trek R.P.G., one particular design of an Orion aircar was able to fly at 160 kilometers an hour. It had a pressure cabin for travel over tall mountains, and could carry ten passengers.
