Proof of Concept (POC) For a Morphed Wing Flying Bike

In the future, vehicles may be required to achieve multiple mission objectives in a single platform. To enable this capability the concept of variable geometry has been proposed as a means to extend the capability of current air vehicle platforms. This requires the development of seamless aerodynamic structures that can undergo large scale changes in wing geometry. Flying bike, or roadable aircraft is an automobile that can legally travel on roads and take off, fly, and land as an aircraft. Flying bike in the future will just look like today's sports bikes, but as they travel by flying there would be some technological development. Flying bikes can move upwards and downwards.
