Is there a market for a SUV – meets chopper?
The people looking for a new SUV are looking for something that would meet all their expectations, and the truth is that finding such vehicles isn’t as difficult as it may sound at first. There has been only one thing that they couldn’t do: flying. Well, this period is over, and you should be looking to the sky to find an SUV.
There is a new product by AVX Aircraft Company, that could be considered a kind of Hummer that having retractable wings. At the beginning this one of the luxury transformers has been created for the U. S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The best thing is that the ‘helicopter’ can do everything that a regular Hummer can, but it is also able to perform Vertical Takeoff and Landing.
There is seating place for four people and while at the beginning it is an all-terrain automobile, it can be turned into a flying machine in only 60 seconds. The speed that it can achieve is equal with the speed of an aircraft that is light, and to be able to be compared with the high class helicopters, it also comes with automated landing and takeoff flight control.
The total weight of the machine is of 1,040 lbs. and it can travel 250 nautical miles with one tank of fuel achieving 10,000 ft of altitude. On the ground it can have 80 mph of speed, while in air this increases to 140 mph. Although this might not become the favorite product of the army, those looking for luxury helicopters most certainly will be willing to own one of these.
If you are one of those people who like to play around with such toys that are flying, you should make sure that you place an order as soon as possible.
