Abstract
The present invention presents a vehicle that is capable of utilizing different methods of movement by rotating its propellers to accommodate air, ground, or water locomotion. The present invention includes being able to change the direction of the thrust mechanism, so that it creates thrust in the direction of flight, but it is hinged to provide full protection to the blades in the ground modality. In the case of the water implementation, these propellers are also used to provide horizontal thrust to the vessel.
