http://www.gizmag.com Here we are in 2009 - televisions are thin, phones are smart and robots are on the rise, but still there's that nagging sense of disappointment each time you look outside and realize that cars don't fly.

Two dual-use Multi Mode Vehicles (MMVs) models are in development - the Skybike, which uses a patent pending telescoping wing design, and the Switchblade, which uses a scissor wing design to retract the wings when you swap the airway for the freeway.en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/the-multi-mode-vehicle-motorbike-and-aircraft-in-one/11843/#comment-64960 http://www.gizmag.com/the-multi-mode-vehicle-motorbike-and-aircraft-in-one/11843/#comment-64960 Tue, 21 Jun 2011 10:35:13 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/the-multi-mode-vehicle-motorbike-and-aircraft-in-one/11843/#comment-3574 http://www.gizmag.com/the-multi-mode-vehicle-motorbike-and-aircraft-in-one/11843/#comment-3574 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:36:09 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/the-multi-mode-vehicle-motorbike-and-aircraft-in-one/11843/#comment-2899 http://www.gizmag.com/the-multi-mode-vehicle-motorbike-and-aircraft-in-one/11843/#comment-2899 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 21:24:00 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/the-multi-mode-vehicle-motorbike-and-aircraft-in-one/11843/#comment-2797 http://www.gizmag.com/the-multi-mode-vehicle-motorbike-and-aircraft-in-one/11843/#comment-2797 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 11:48:09 -0500
