ABSTRACT:
A recreational vehicle combines a flying vehicle and a motorized surface vehicle, such as a boat, car, or truck or snowmobile. The flying vehicle is tethered to the surface vehicle by four rods, each of which is rotatably connected to the flying vehicle and surface vehicle, so that the angle of attack of the flying vehicle relative to the surface vehicle remains constant or decreases, depending only on altitude. On/off, throttling, and steering of the motorized surface vehicle are controlled by the pilot of the flying vehicle. The flaps of the flying vehicle are automatically lowered for landing to increase drag and lower the stall speed and raised following take-off to reduce drag. Ailerons are automatically controlled to roll the flying vehicle during turns.
