Patent abstract
A reconfigurable hybrid Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) vehicle includes a turntable bearing coupling a conventional wing to a fuselage. The fuselage, designed to couple to and release a cargo pod from its undercarriage, is configured to accept a high wing juncture such that the wing can rotate from a flight configuration to a transport configuration. The transport configuration aligns the wing with the fuselage sufficient to enable the hybrid VTOL vehicle to fit within a standard intermodal container or transport aircraft.
