Storage for the wing and tail assemblies and the propelling structure is in side and end compartments, and the wing and tail assemblies have foldable sections for this purpose. The apparatus has a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels, the latter wheels being movable between a narrowed rearward position for road use which allows storage of the wings in the side compartments and a forward widened position for aircraft use. The tail assembly is supported on a slide mechanism which extends downward in a forward longitudinal direction whereby the tail assembly is lowered as it is moved forwardly for storage in the rear compartment.
