The Maverick, a Flying Car that Can Be Taken Off-Road or Into the Sky, Turns the Dream of Flight into a Reality

Maverick, the flying car

Add a new dimension to driving with the Maverick, a car that has the capability to be both driven and flown.  The Maverick, a car originally designed for transportation in frontier areas where roads are scarce, has a top speed of 90 mph and weighs less than 1,000 pounds.  When faced with dangerous terrain, the Maverick has the ability to fly over it, thanks to its central telescopic mast.  With the flip of a switch, the engine power is diverted to a rear-mounted five-blade propeller, and the Maverick can take flight in only 300 feet.  With its driving and flying capabilities, the Maverick could be the next frontier in transportation.
