  The present invention provides an automobile equipped with a main wing that can be expanded into a deployed state that generates lift necessary for flight and that can be retracted into a contracted state in which the side door can be retracted. Objective.

The present invention includes a plurality of wheels that are rotated by power output from a driving power source, a pair of left and right main wings that generate lift necessary for flight, and a propulsive force generator that generates propulsive force necessary for the flight. The side doors attached to both sides of the vehicle body are attached to the wing containment chamber in which the storage of the main wings is allowed and the opening of the wing containment chamber is openable and closable. A storage door, and the main wing is telescopically provided in a contracted state in which storage is allowed for the wing storage chamber of the side door and in a deployed state that generates lift necessary for the flight, and the main wing Wing deployment means for deploying the main wing in a first deployment direction that intersects with the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, the front side of the main wing corresponding to the front side of the vehicle body, Between the rear side and the corresponding rear side of the main wing At least one Chi, while being deployed toward the first expansion direction of the main wing, characterized by comprising a wing portion that is deployed toward the second expansion direction crossing the first extending direction.

  According to the present invention, the pair of left and right main wings can be expanded to a deployed state that generates lift necessary for flight, and can be contracted to a contracted state in which the side door can be retracted.

  More specifically, when flying, the storage door of the wing storage chamber provided in the side door is opened, and the main wing stored in the wing storage chamber intersects with the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body by the wing expansion means. The vehicle is deployed in a direction that allows the vehicle to generate the lift necessary to fly.

When the pair of left and right main wings are deployed in the first deployment direction, the wings disposed on at least one of the front side and the rear side perpendicular to the first deployment direction of the main wings are first deployed by the deployment operation of the main wings. The wings are deployed together in a direction toward the direction, and the wings are deployed in a second deployment direction (specifically, the longitudinal direction of the automobile) that intersects the first deployment direction of the main wing.

  As a result, the main wings deployed to the left and right can generate lift necessary for the automobile to fly, and the wings can be caused to fly by the thrust generated by the thrust generation section.

Further, for example, compared to a deployment area in which a wing having a width corresponding to the side door is deployed, a deployment area of the entire wing developed by combining the main wing and the wing is larger, and a higher lift force can be obtained in flight.

Therefore, a large lift can be generated with a small thrust. In addition, the cruising time and cruising distance can be extended.

  Also, when traveling, the main wings deployed to the left and right are contracted into a contracted state in which the main doors can be stored in the wing storage chamber of the side door, and the main wings are stored in the wing storage chamber while being contracted. The opening of the chamber is closed with a storage door.

  That is, after the main wing is contracted into the contracted state and stored in the wing storage chamber of the side door, the wing storage chamber is closed by the storage door, so that the air resistance received by the automobile during traveling can be reduced.

  As a result, during the flight, the lift necessary for the automobile to fly can be stably obtained. Further, when traveling, the air resistance received by the automobile can be made as small as possible to prevent the traveling performance from deteriorating and improve the fuel efficiency.

  The above-mentioned intersection includes, for example, a direction intersecting at an acute angle with respect to the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, a direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction, and the like. Moreover, the driving power source can be constituted by, for example, a gasoline engine, a diesel engine, an electric motor, or the like. Further, the propulsive force generation unit can be configured by, for example, a propeller that is rotated by a reciprocating engine or an electric motor, a jet engine, or the like.

It can generate more lift than the car needs to fly. Further, the strength required to support the main wing at a predetermined elevation angle can be obtained.

As a result, the lift necessary for the automobile to fly can be efficiently generated.
The wing support means described above can be constituted by, for example, a support shaft provided with a clamp member, a hydraulic support device, or the like.

  Further, as an aspect of the present invention, the main wing is arranged at a predetermined interval with respect to the first deployment direction of the main wing, and a wing cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the first deployment direction generates lift necessary for the flight. It is possible to provide a shape maintaining member that maintains the shape easy to do.

According to the present invention, the main wings deployed to the left and right can be maintained in an ideal wing cross-sectional shape in which lift necessary to fly the automobile is likely to occur.
Specifically, the shape maintaining member maintains the left and right main wings in an ideal wing cross-sectional shape (specifically, streamlined shape) that is likely to generate lift necessary for flight. The cross-sectional shape is not easily deformed, and the lift necessary for flight can be reliably generated.
As a result, the lift necessary for the automobile to fly can be stably obtained, and the strength necessary for maintaining a predetermined blade cross-sectional shape can be obtained.

As an aspect of the present invention, the vehicle main body can be provided with blade contracting means for contracting the deployed main wing in a contracted state in which the deployed main wing is allowed to be stored in the blade storage chamber.
According to this invention, the operation | movement which stores the main wing expanded left and right in the wing storage chamber of a side door can be performed mechanically.

More specifically, the main wing expanded left and right is contracted by the wing contraction means into a contracted state allowing storage in the wing storage chamber, and the main wing is stored in the wing storage chamber while being contracted.
As a result, the labor and work of retracting the left and right main wings into a contracted state by the driver's hand and storing them in the blade storage chamber can be saved, and the operation of storing them in the blade storage chamber can be performed mechanically.

Further, as an aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a flight power transmission means for transmitting the power output from the traveling power source to the propulsion force generator.
According to the present invention, the number of power sources mounted on the automobile can be reduced, and the structure of the entire automobile can be simplified.

More specifically, a driving wheel of an automobile is rotated by power output from one driving power source, and the automobile is driven by rotation of the driving wheel. Further, the propulsive force generating unit is driven by the power output from the driving power source to generate the propulsive force necessary for the automobile to fly.
As a result, for example, the weight of the entire vehicle becomes lighter and the cruising time and cruising distance can be further extended, compared with the case where a traveling power source and a flying power source are mounted.

As a mode of this invention, a tail for stabilizing the flight can be provided on the rear side of the side door corresponding to the rear side of the vehicle body.
According to the present invention, maneuverability during flight is improved, and stable flight can be performed.

  More specifically, when the left and right main wings are deployed, the left and right tail wings are also deployed in the first deployment direction and the second deployment direction. It is possible to control flight such as left turn, ascending and descending.

As a result, it is possible to stably fly the automobile in a desired direction during the flight.
The above-described tail can be constituted by, for example, one or both of a horizontal tail and a vertical tail.

A pair of left and right main wings 5 and a pair of left and right horizontal tails 6 that are expanded and contracted to generate a lift necessary for flight during flight are provided.

The main wing 5 and the horizontal tail 6 are in a contracted state in which the wing storage chamber 43 of the side door 4 is allowed to be retracted (see FIGS. 4 to 6) and a deployment that provides the lift necessary for the automobile 1 to fly. It can be expanded and contracted to the state (see FIGS. 1 to 3).
The horizontal tail 6 is arranged on the rear side of the side door 4 corresponding to the rear side of the vehicle body 2.

  The side door 4 is connected to a boarding opening 2a opened on both sides of the vehicle body 2 so as to be openable and closable by a connecting member (not shown). It is attached to the front-rear direction D so that it can be opened and closed freely. The side door 4 is divided into an indoor side and an outdoor side by a partition plate 42 disposed inside the door body 41 (see FIG. 4).

  The side door 4 is configured as a single door by combining a front door and a rear door of four doors. Moreover, although the side door 4 opens and closes by a passenger's manual operation, it may open and close by a hydraulic opening / closing device, for example.

  The interior side of the door body 41 is part of the interior of the vehicle, for example, by interior decoration. On the other hand, on the outdoor side of the door body 41, there is provided a blade storage chamber 43 formed in a size and shape that allows the main wing 5 and the horizontal tail 6 to be stored.

A storage door 44 formed in such a size and shape that the entire opening of the blade storage chamber 43 is closed is attached to the opening of the blade storage chamber 43 so as to be freely opened and closed.
The front edge portion of the storage door 44 is pivotally attached to the opening side front edge portion of the blade storage chamber 43 via a connection member (not shown), and the storage door 44 is connected to the vehicle body 2 with the connection member as a rotation center. It is attached so that it can be opened and closed freely in the front-rear direction D.

Further, the front edge portion of the storage door 44 is connected to the opening side front edge portion of the blade storage chamber 43 via a connecting member (specifically a universal joint that can move up and down) (not shown). As a pivot center, the vehicle body 2 is mounted so as to be movable up and down in the vertical direction, and the lying posture with the window portion of the door facing the rear side of the vehicle main body 2 and the standing posture with the window portion of the door facing upward (See FIG. 5).
As a result, the storage door 44 is attached to be openable and closable up and down at an open angle at which the main wing 5 is allowed to expand and a closed angle at which the wing storage chamber 43 is closed.

  A center pillar 45 having a strength and a structure for supporting the boarding / alighting opening 2 a is attached to the center of the blade storage chamber 43. The center pillar 45 is configured to be divided into an inner pillar 46 disposed on the indoor side of the automobile 1 and an outer pillar 47 disposed on the outdoor side (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

One inner pillar 46 has a strength required to support the entrance / exit opening 2a, and is disposed at a position where the center of the entrance / exit 2a is supported.
The other outer pillar 47 has a length and rigidity to be supported in a state where the main wing 5 is deployed. The lower end portion of the outer pillar 47 is pivotally attached to the lower end portion of the inner pillar 46 via a connecting member (not shown), and the outer pillar 47 is supported in a state where the main wing 5 is deployed with the connecting member as a rotation center. The support angle and the storage angle stored in the blade storage chamber 43 are provided so as to be able to swing left and right in the vehicle width direction C of the vehicle body 2.

A clamp member 48 is attached to the upper end portion of the outer pillar 47 to clamp the lower surface portion of the base end side of the main wing 5 developed in the left and right directions.
That is, when the outer pillar 47 is rotated to a support angle that supports the deployed main wing 5, the rotation is restricted to an angle that protrudes obliquely upward to the outdoor side by a stopper (not shown). Further, when the outer pillar 47 is rotated to the storage angle stored with respect to the blade storage chamber 43, the rotation is regulated so that the outer pillar 47 is integrally fitted to the inner pillar 46 by a stopper (not shown).

  Specifically, when the main wing 5 is deployed, the outer pillar 47 of the center pillar 45 is rotated to a support angle that is supported when the main wing 5 is deployed, and then the deployed main wing 5 is moved to the upper end side of the outer pillar 47. Then, the lower surface portion of the base end side of the main wing 5 is clamped by the clamp member 48 of the outer pillar 47. Thereby, the left and right main wings 5 are supported in a state where they are deployed in the first deployment direction A1.

  As a result, the main wings 5 deployed to the left and right can be supported in an ideal state where the lift necessary for the automobile 1 to fly can be efficiently obtained. Moreover, the strength required to obtain lift can be ensured.

  Further, by rotating the outer pillar 47 to the storage angle stored in the blade storage chamber 43 and integrally fitting with the inner pillar 46, the entrance / exit opening 2 a of the vehicle body 2 is made. Reinforced, it is possible to ensure the strength required for traveling.

The main wing 5 is disposed on the front side of the central wing 51 corresponding to the front side of the vehicle main body 2 and the central wing 51 deployed in the first deployment direction A1 intersecting the longitudinal direction D of the vehicle main body 2. The front wing part 52 is arranged, and the rear wing part 53 is arranged on the rear side of the central wing part 51 corresponding to the rear side of the vehicle body 2.
Further, the base end portion of the main wing 5 is connected to the upper edge portion of the entrance / exit opening portion 2a by a connecting member (not shown), and is attached to the vehicle body 2 so as to be vertically rotatable in the vehicle width direction C. .

The wing parts 51, 52, 53 have ribs 54 for maintaining a shape that generates lift necessary for the automobile 1 to fly, a first deployment direction A 1 corresponding to the vehicle width direction C of the vehicle body 2, and the front and rear A plurality of springs 55 in which restoring forces for deployment in the second deployment direction A2 corresponding to the direction D are accumulated, and a sheet 56 having a flexible thinness formed to cover the entire main wing 5 are provided. ing.
The width corresponding to the front-rear direction D of the vehicle body 2 of the central wing 51 is formed to have a dimension corresponding to the door width of the side door 4.

  A plurality of ribs 54 are arranged inside the wing parts 51 to 53 and are arranged at a predetermined interval with respect to the first development direction A1 intersecting the front-rear direction D of the vehicle body 2. The ribs 54 are formed in a smooth streamline shape when viewed from the first deployment direction A1 of the main wing 5.

  That is, the rib 54 maintains an ideal streamline shape in which the lift necessary for flight is likely to be generated and maintains the streamline shape of the wing cross section perpendicular to the first deployment direction A1 of the main wing 5. Has the necessary restoring force and rigidity.

  The springs 55 are arranged between the ribs 54 arranged inside the wing parts 51 to 53, and are arranged at a predetermined interval with respect to the first deployment direction A1. Moreover, the edge part corresponding to 1st expansion | deployment direction A1 of the spring 55 is connected with the hinge which is not shown in figure. Further, the spring 55 stores a restoring force necessary for deploying the wing parts 51 to 53 in a direction corresponding to the vehicle width direction C and the front-rear direction D of the vehicle body 2.

  That is, the main wing 5 is expanded stepwise (specifically, in two steps and three steps) toward the first expansion direction A1 parallel to the vehicle width direction C of the vehicle body 2 by the restoring force of the spring 55. Furthermore, it expand | deploys also in the 2nd expansion | deployment direction A2 corresponding to the direction orthogonal to the above-mentioned 1st expansion | deployment direction A1, ie, the front-back direction D of the vehicle main body 2 (refer FIGS. 1-5).

  As a result, the vehicle 1 is deployed (specifically, one wing 6m) in a deployed state in which the lift necessary to fly the vehicle 1 is obtained. Further, the entire main wing 5 is maintained in a deployed state by the restoring force of the spring 55.

  Further, the main wing 5 can be contracted in the contraction direction B parallel to the vehicle width direction C of the vehicle body 2 against the restoring force of the spring 55 and can be stored in the wing storage chamber 43 of the side door 4. It can shrink to an acceptable shrinkage state.

  More specifically, when the central wing 51 of the main wing 5 is deployed in the first deployment direction A1 parallel to the vehicle width direction C of the vehicle body 2 by the restoring force of the spring 55, the front wing 52 and the rear wing 52 The side wings 53 are also deployed in the first deployment direction A1 by the restoring force of the spring 55 together with the central wings 51. The rear wing portion 53 has a function as an airplane flap.

  Further, the wing portions 51 to 53 are deployed in a direction orthogonal to the first deployment direction A1 described above, that is, in a second deployment direction A2 corresponding to the front-rear direction D of the vehicle body 2.

As described above, since the entire main wing 5 is deployed wider than the door width of the side door 4, the central wing portion is larger than the deployment area in which only the central wing portion 51 having a width corresponding to the side door 4 is deployed. The deployment area of the entire main wing 5 in which the 51, the front wing part 52, and the rear wing part 53 are deployed is larger, and a larger lift can be obtained during flight.
As a result, a large lift can be generated with a small thrust. In addition, the cruising time and cruising distance can be extended.

  Similarly to the main wing 5 described above, the horizontal tail 6 includes a rib 54, a spring 55, and a seat 56. The horizontal tail 6 has an unfolded state in which the lift necessary for the automobile 1 to fly is obtained, The wing storage chamber 43 is configured to be extendable and contractible in a contracted state in which storage is permitted.

More specifically, when the main wing 5 is deployed to the left and right, the horizontal tail 6 stored in the wing storage chamber 43 of the side door 4 also has a first deployment direction that intersects the longitudinal direction D of the vehicle body 2 due to the restoring force of the spring 55. It is developed toward A1 and a second development direction A2 (front-rear direction D of the vehicle body 2) orthogonal to the first development direction A1.
Thereby, the lift necessary for controlling the flight of the automobile 1 can be obtained, and the flight operations of the automobile 1 such as turning right, turning left, ascending and descending can be controlled.

Further, if the spring 55 contracts in the contraction direction B parallel to the vehicle width direction C of the vehicle body 2 against the restoring force of the spring 55, the contracted state in which the rear side of the blade storage chamber 43 is allowed to be stored. Can shrink.
In addition, in embodiment, although the flight of the motor vehicle 1 is stabilized only with the horizontal tail 6, the vertical tail may be provided and flight can be stabilized more.

  Support shafts 7 for supporting the main wings 5 deployed left and right at a predetermined elevation angle are arranged on the front side upper part of the vehicle body 2. In addition, a clamp member 71 for clamping the front side of the deployed main wing 5 is attached to the protruding side end of the support shaft 7 that projects to the side corresponding to the main wing 5.

  That is, when the main wing 5 is deployed left and right, the left and right support shafts 7 project in a predetermined length in a direction corresponding to the main wing 5, and the clamp member 71 is clamped at the front side of the main wing 5 deployed left and right. Move to.

  When the main wing 5 deployed left and right is placed on the projecting side end of the support shaft 7, the front side of the main wing 5 deployed left and right is clamped by the clamp member 71 of the support shaft 7. Thus, the left and right main wings 5 can be supported at a predetermined elevation angle where the front side of the main wing 5 corresponding to the front side of the vehicle body 2 is high and the rear side is low.

  As a result, the airflow flowing along the upper and lower surfaces of the main wing 5 becomes asymmetrical in the vertical direction, and the pressure on the upper surface is lower than the lower surface of the main wing 5, so that the lift necessary for the automobile 1 to fly can be efficiently generated. Can do.

  Next, specific functions of the automobile 1 having a travel function and a flight function will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating the traveling function and the flight function of the automobile 1.

The operation unit 21 functions as a steering wheel (specifically, a steering wheel) for steering the automobile 1 when the mode switching unit 25 is switched to the travel mode. On the other hand, when the mode switching unit 25 is switched to the flight mode, it functions as a control stick for steering the airplane.

The traveling steering force transmission mechanism 22 transmits the operation of the operation unit 21 to the left and right wheels 3a on the front side, and steers the left and right wheels 3a according to the operation of the operation unit 21 by the driver.
The drive unit 23 is specifically composed of a mechanism such as a mission or a differential gear, and rotates the left and right wheels 3a with power output from the driving power source 24. The left and right wheels 3a on the front side and the left and right wheels 3b on the rear side are provided with brakes (not shown).

The travel power source 24 is specifically composed of a power generation source such as a gasoline engine, a diesel engine, or an electric motor, and outputs power for rotating the left and right wheels 3 a to the drive unit 23.
The mode switching unit 25 receives a switching operation between the driving mode and the flight mode by the driver, and performs a switching operation between the traveling unit 20 and the flying unit 30 in accordance with the switching operation.

  The power transmission device 322 is disposed on the upper rear side of the left and right wheels 3a in correspondence with the left and right wheels 3a disposed on the front side of the vehicle body 2. The power transmission device 322 moves the power transmission wheel 321 in a direction away from the peripheral surface of the wheel 3a when the mode switching unit 25 is switched to the travel mode, and the transmission of the rotational force of the wheel 3a is cut off. Wait at the position to be played.

  On the other hand, when the mode switching unit 25 is switched to the flight mode, the power transmission device 322 moves the power transmission wheel 321 in a direction to be pressed against the peripheral surface of the wheel 3a, and the rotational force of the wheel 3a is changed to the power transmission wheel. The pressing state transmitted to 321 is maintained. As a result, the rotational force of the wheel 3 a transmitted to the power transmission wheel 321 is transmitted to the propulsion force generator 31.

Further, when the power transmission wheel 321 is pressed against the wheel 3a, the wheel 3a may be moved upward by, for example, about 13 cm and pressed against the power transmission wheel 321.
The state detection unit 33 detects travel speed, flight speed, altitude, acceleration, traveling, in flight, and the like, and outputs the detection information to the power control unit 34 and the rudder control unit 35.

  The power control unit 34 controls the flight power transmission mechanism 32 based on the detection information output from the state detection unit 33. When the mode switching unit 25 is switched from the travel mode to the flight mode, the travel power source 24 is driven until the speed required for takeoff is reached, and the rotational force of the wheels 3a is transmitted through the power transmission wheels 321. 31. The propulsion force generator 31 is continuously driven by power output from the travel power source 24 during flight.

  Further, when the mode switching unit 25 is switched from the flight mode to the traveling mode, the output and the rotational speed of the traveling power source 24 and the gear change of the driving unit 23 are adjusted so that sudden engine braking is not applied during landing.

  Specifically, immediately after landing, as the speed of the automobile 1 decelerates, efficient reduction can be achieved by lowering the gear ratio of the drive unit 23, and a smooth transition from flight to landing and running is possible. be able to.

The rudder control unit 35 controls the horizontal tail 6 based on the state detected by the state detection unit 33 and the operation instruction from the operation unit 21. During the flight, the rudder control unit 35 controls the pair of left and right horizontal tails 6 to an angle suitable for a flight operation such as a right turn, a left turn, a rise and a descent in accordance with the operation of the operation unit 21 by the driver.

The flying steering force transmission mechanism 36 transmits the operation of the operation unit 21 to the horizontal tail 6 and operates the horizontal tail 6 according to the operation of the operation unit 21 by the driver.

  The wing contractor 37 includes a wire 371 connected to the blade tips of the main wing 5 and the horizontal tail 6 and a winding device 372 for winding the wire 371. Further, the wire 371 wound around the winding device 372 is provided so as to be able to be fed out in the first deployment direction A1 according to the deployment operation of the main wing 5 and the horizontal tail wing 6.

  More specifically, when the mode switching unit 25 is switched to the travel mode, the winding device 372 drives the wire 371 connected to the main wing 5 and the horizontal tail 6 and the winding operation causes the spring 55 to move. The main wing 5 and the horizontal tail 6 are pulled in the contraction direction B against the restoring force.

  As a result, the main wing 5 and the horizontal tail 6 are contracted to a contracted state in which the main door 5 and the horizontal tail 6 are allowed to be stored in the wing storage chamber 43 of the side door 4, and the wing is stored while being contracted narrower than the door width of the side door 4 It is stored in the chamber 43.

  On the other hand, when the mode switching unit 25 is switched to the flight mode, the winding device 372 can rotate freely, and the wire 371 is drawn out by a predetermined length according to the deployment operation of the main wing 5 and the horizontal tail 6, so The horizontal tail 6 can be deployed in a deployed state where the lift necessary for the automobile 1 to fly is obtained.

Next, an operation when the automobile 1 is shifted from the travel mode to the flight mode will be described.
First, the mode switching unit 25 is switched from the travel mode to the flight mode, the winding device 372 is set to be freely rotatable, and then the storage door 44 of the wing storage chamber 43 provided on the side door 4 is opened, The main wing 5 stored in the wing storage chamber 43 is expanded stepwise in the first expansion direction A <b> 1 by the restoring force of the spring 55.

  Furthermore, it develops in a direction perpendicular to the first deployment direction A1 described above, that is, in a second deployment direction A2 corresponding to the front-rear direction D of the vehicle body 2, and generates lift necessary for the automobile 1 to fly. Expands to size (see FIGS. 1-5).

  At the same time, the horizontal tail 6 stored in the blade storage chamber 43 is moved by the restoring force of the spring 55 to a first deployment direction A1 that intersects the front-rear direction D of the vehicle body 2 and a second deployment direction orthogonal to the first deployment direction A1. Deploy in the deployment direction A2 and deploy to a size suitable for controlling flight such as right turn, left turn, ascent and descent.

Further, the main wing 5 deployed left and right is maintained in an ideal streamline shape by which the lift necessary for the automobile 1 to fly can be obtained by the ribs 54. The shape is not easily deformed, and the lift necessary for flight can be reliably generated.
As a result, the lift necessary for the automobile 1 to fly can be stably obtained, and the strength necessary for maintaining a predetermined blade cross-sectional shape can be obtained.

Further, when the main wing 5 is deployed left and right, the left and right support shafts 7 project in a predetermined length in the vehicle width direction C, and the clamp member 71 is moved to a position where the front side of the main wing 5 is clamped. The main wing 5 deployed left and right is placed on the protruding side end of the support shaft 7, and the front side of the main wing 5 is clamped by the clamp member 71 of the support shaft 7.
Thereby, since the left and right main wings 5 are supported at a predetermined elevation angle, it is possible to efficiently generate the lift necessary for the automobile 1 to fly.

  Further, after the outer pillar 47 of the center pillar 45 is rotated toward the outdoor side at an angle at which the main wing 5 is supported, the developed main wing 5 is placed on the upper end side of the outer pillar 47 and the base end of the main wing 5 is placed. The side lower surface portion is clamped by the clamp member 48 of the outer pillar 47. Thereby, the left and right main wings 5 are supported in a state where they are deployed in the vehicle width direction C of the vehicle body 2.

  Next, when the automobile 1 is shifted from the flight mode to the travel mode, the mode switching unit 25 is switched from the flight mode to the travel mode, and the wire 371 connected to the main wing 5 and the horizontal tail 6 is wound by the wing contractor 37. At the same time, the main wing 5 and the horizontal tail 6 that are deployed to the left and right are contracted in a contraction direction B parallel to the vehicle width direction C of the vehicle body 2 against the restoring force of the spring 55.

The main wing 5 and the horizontal tail 6 that have contracted as described above are stored in the wing storage chamber 43 of the side door 4 while being contracted, and the wing storage chamber 43 is closed by the storage door 44 (see FIGS. 4 to 6). ).
That is, the left and right main wings 5 and the horizontal tail wing 6 are contracted and stored in the wing storage chamber 43 of the side door 4, and then the wing storage chamber 43 is closed by the storage door 44. The air resistance received by the vehicle 1 can be reduced as much as possible, and the running performance of the automobile 1 can be prevented from being lowered.

Furthermore, since the dual-purpose operation unit 21 is operated during traveling and during flight, it is not necessary to provide separate steering means for traveling and during flight, and only when the operating unit 21 is operated. It is possible to control the travel direction at and the flight direction during flight.
As a result, the vehicle can be safely and accurately steered during travel and flight, and erroneous steering can be prevented.

In addition, if the rules (difference between east, west, south, north, and north) are set to the altitude when flying in the automobile 1 of the present embodiment, the navigation system is established, as the road traffic law (traffic rules) is established. By simply guiding the vehicle to fly over the road, it is possible to avoid a collision at the time of flight.
In addition, it can operate safely without setting a new route. In this case, if the aircraft flies over the road and flies up and down at the interchange, it is possible to fly just by acquiring the license of the automobile 1.
That is, it is possible to prevent an accident during flight by flying fully automatically by operating the operation unit 21 (specifically, the handle is raised when the handle is pulled and lowered when the handle is tilted).
As a result, if a license for driving the vehicle 1 having a traveling function and a flight function is made based on the above-mentioned rules and permission is given to the license holder, the predetermined traffic rules are followed. You can fly safely.
