Looking through a few Dragon articles this is what I could find:
Tanks Alot, it states that bombs can be mounted on pylons on an aircar.
Here Comes the Cavalry gives a brief description of an VTOL Fighter-Bomber as "An armored aircar with exterior weapon mounts this is designed for high-speed bombing runs. However, it is versatile enough to hold its own in a dogfight.
From Freighters to Flying Boats, under the description of Amphibious Aircar we see "... Its underside and wings have pontoons to keep the craft afloat."

There is still no type of altitude given, but it would seem to allude to the aircar being capable of actual flight.

In the adventure Mission to Alcazaar, pg 18 (remastered edition), an encounter with an aircar has the vehicle aproaching at 400kph with an altitude of 50 meters.
