"Abstract"
"Air, Land and Sea Vehicle is convertible between air-craft form, road vehicle form, and boat form. The conversion between aircraft form
and road
vehicle form, having four tires as an automobile as well as roadable vehicle structure that are moveable outwardly for highway usage, and inwardly into
stored position for the aircraft form or boat form, and having storage for the wing and tail assemblies which has a foldable section for this purpose.
For conversion between aircraft form and boat forms, the apparatus has a retractable or extendable water propeller as propelling means in the water, and
parts arranged for steering. The wings and tail assemblies are moved inwardly into stored position including auto and aero tires move inwardly into
their water-leak-proof compartments. The conversion between boat form and aircraft forms having wings and tail assemblies as well as propelling structures
that are movable outwardly for the flying form including wing-lifter to lift the wings upwardly for sufficient clearance between the wing-level and
the water-level in order to accomodate sufficient relative wind to propel the invention as a lift means, during water takeoff. The water-rudder will
maintain a straight forward movement. The auto and aero engines operate until the invention takes off from the water, then the automobile engine must be
turned off. The water propeller and rudder move inwardly into their compartments respectively."
