Produktbeschreibung
The StrongMobile "Magic Dragon" Aircar has been
developed by retired Air Force pilot-engineer Rich
Strong over a 50-year period. The design uses an
automobile-type lifting body fuselage and automotive
suspension. Flight propulsion uses a front-mounted
ducted fan with side outlets. Automatic conversion
uses a combination of folding and swinging to stow
the wings into the body. The current design envisions
a core market of frequent regional business travelers
whose time savings make using the StrongMobile
virtually revenue neutral. Over the past few years,
tens of thousands of enthusiasts have visited the
website, www.strongware.com/dragon and have seen the
author's presentations at trade shows such as
AirVenture. The author-inventor has listened to
comments and the designs have evolved into the
current stage, ready for further development,
production, and operation.

years as a "life-long labor of love". He has used his extensive
background as a naval aircraft mechanic, automobile manufacturing
worker, USAF pilot, and aeronautical systems engineer to design
his unique solution to the problem of timely regional travel.
