Hybrid road-air vehicle

A vehicle configured for travelling on a road and for flying in the air, the vehicle comprising:

• a fuselage extending from a forward end to a rear end along a horizontal longitudinal roll axis of the vehicle;
• a pair of main wings mounted on a tail assembly at the rear end of the fuselage configured to support a pair of tiltable rotors and a pair of fixed, non-tiltable rotors, each main wing extending, in a deployed position, from the fuselage along a horizontal lateral pitch axis thereof;
• a pair of canard wings mounted to the fuselage forward of the main wings, each of the canard wings extending, in a deployed position, from the fuselage along a horizontal lateral pitch axis thereof,
• wherein each of the main wings and canard wings is pivotable and/or foldable to a stowed position in which they overlie the fuselage;
• a rotor system comprising a plurality of rotors;
• the rotor system comprising the pair of tiltable rotors, each mounted on one of the main wings and being configured to tilt through a plurality of tilted positions between a forward position in which an axis of rotor rotation is substantially parallel with the roll axis, and an upward position in which the axis of rotor rotation is substantially parallel with a yaw axis of the vehicle;
• and
• a plurality of wheels configured to facilitate travelling on the road.
