A 4×4 that transforms into a helicopter under 60 seconds!

by Gareth Mankoo

There are those ideas by the military that make us all sweaty and nervous and those that totally floor us by their brilliance! This insanely awesome 4×4 is something along the lines of the latter. A Texas based company called AVX Aircraft have pioneered these cool vehicles that can change into a helicopter in lesser time than it takes to fry an egg. What’s more is that it can travel 250 miles by land and air on a single tank of fuel. The rotor blades fold so as not to obstruct other vehicles as it hits the off-roads.

Yeah, I’m thinking the same! This one’s perfect for the troops posted in Afghanistan and Iraq. Land mines and aerial missiles can both be dodged with this superb vehicle.
