ABSTRACT:
A roadable aircraft capable of flying as well as road travel. The wings of the roadable aircraft are defined by inner and outer wing panels. The outer wing panels are folded with a fold mechanism that rotates each of the outer wing panels from a substantially horizontal extended flying position to a substantially vertical extended position and then folds each of the outer panels into a direction parallel to the travel direction defined by the fuselage. An operator controlled selectable drive mechanism allows the operator to select either the propeller or drive wheel to receive power from the engine shaft.
