It would be more logical to start with adversarial generative AI and let it find the middle ground. Favoring the airplane side of the equation obtained the Taylor Aerocar.

With that ground clearance* it would corner like an Aptera.

Best effort so far, IMHO, would be Fuller's Dymaxion. Which never flew. Personally, I'd settle for a car/boat hybrid amphibian.

*Stanced Aerocar anyone?
