Futuristic Flying Car

 

The futuristic flying car that's a helicopter and a plane AND a Humvee By Ian Drury Last updated at 2:50 AM on 2nd December 2010 It looks too far-fetched to be anything but a child's toy. But for front-line troops in Afghanistan, this revolutionary vehicle could soon be a reality. The road-going army truck turns into a helicopter at the touch of a button, allowing it to fly above hazards such as roadside bombs. Take-off: A concept design for the Transformer vehicle which will be able to fly troops safely over areas littered with roadside bombs Convertible: The vehicle's wings fold away so it can operate like any other armoured car Parts for the futuristic vehicle will be developed by a number of different military hardware firms
