  • Patent number: 11312488
    Abstract: A rotorcraft-convertible motorcar includes a passenger cabin with at least one seat, a pair of front wheels, a central rear wheel, and two pairs of left and right supporting arms located on opposed sides of the passenger cabin, each supporting arm carrying a respective rotor assembly. The supporting arms are pivotally connected to the passenger cabin so that the rotorcraft-convertible car is convertible between an on-road configuration, where the supporting arms with the rotor assemblies are arranged inside a lateral overall size of the passenger cabin, and a flight configuration, where the supporting arms with the rotor assemblies are arranged at least partially outside the overall lateral size of the passenger cabin. The supporting arms and the rotor assemblies are configured so that in the on-road configuration the rotor assemblies are accommodated underneath the passenger cabin, on opposed sides of the central rear wheel.
