Shell out46,000 for a flying tricycle,beat rush-hour traffic

London: A man in the US has built a tricycle that will let you soar into the sky and cruise over rush-hour traffic jams.The motor-tricycle,called the super sky cycle,has been developed by Larry Neal from Aurora in Texas and consists of a 582cc engine and a three-blade 68-inch propeller.
It can fly at 56kmph,land in 20ft of space and has a top land speed of 104kph.It has a five hour flight time without refueling,and costs 46,000,the Daily Mail reported.
However,the vehicle requires a pilots licence to fly.Neal,of The Butterfly Aircraft LLC,has just been awarded a US Patent to build the vehicle on a large scale and sell it to the general public.He already has several orders for national and international companies.
The project has been in development for several years but hit a stumbling block as Neal could not work out what to do with the propellers once the vehicle landed.
However,he overcame this problem by making them foldable -- allowing the vehicle to be driven on regular roads.The Texas border patrol has already made a large order of these flying machines.PTI
