ABSTRACT:
A flying craft which is pushed by a surface vehicle which follows the flying craft is disclosed. The craft includes a winged body which is connected by an elongated push pole to a ground engaging propelling vehicle. The control of the winged body is accomplished by changing the vertical position of one end of the elongated push pole relative to the opposite end of the flying craft. The surface vehicle limits the angle which the pole makes relative to the surface to prevent the surface vehicle from overtaking the flying craft.
