“The vehicle has a large white propeller on the front, and seems to be powered by two side-mounted engines. There are wings on the right and left sides, and a small wing on the rear of the vehicle. It also has two wheels near the front of the vehicle, indicating that it could... More travel on the ground as well as fly.”
