The Super Sky Cycle

The Super Sky Cycle, which has been designed by inventor Larry Neal, can fly at 35 mph and has a top speed of 65mph on the ground.

According to Neal he has been developing the aircraft for several years.

The biggest issue he had to overcome was just what do with the wings when the vehicle was on the ground.

However, he cracked that thanks to an ingenious system that allows the rotor to be neatly folded away.

This means the unusual vehicle can not only be flown but also used like a normal tricycle on the road. The Super Sky Cycle can reach an altitude of 2,100m (7,000ft) and cruise for 240km (150 miles) before needing to refuel.
