ABSTRACT:
A self-propelled toy motor vehicle includes a wheel for supporting the vehicle body to roll over a playing surface. The wheel includes a plurality of air vanes thereon for causing the wheel to rotate in response to a stream of air applied through a mouthpiece by a person blowing into the mouthpiece. The wheel is relatively heavy and acts as a flywheel to store kinetic energy so that when the vehicle is placed on a playing surface after the wheel is spinning in rotation, the vehicle is self-propelled until the rotative energy of the flywheel is expended. The flywheel and vanes spin inside a wheel housing and this develops a whistling sound resembling a jet-powered vehicle.
