A vehicle capable of being converted between a flying condition and an automotive riding condition. The vehicle has a telescopically extendable tail having a first tubular tail segment and a second tail segment disposed axially slideable within the first tubular tail segment. The tail is provided with at least two form-closing coupling members located at an axial distance from each other for providing a force-transferring coupling between the second tail segment and the first tubular tail segment in the extended state of the second tail segment, each of the form-closing coupling members capable of transferring torque and transverse forces, and each of the form-closing coupling members coming into engagement by axial displacement of the second tail segment in the outward direction.

Vehicle

The present invention discloses a vehicle () capable of being converted between a flying condition and an automotive riding condition. The vehicle has a telescopically extendable tail () comprising a first tubular tail segment () and a second tail segment () disposed axially slideable within the first tubular tail segment. The tail is provided with at least two form-closing coupling members () located at an axial distance (LI) from each other for providing a force-transferring coupling between the second tail segment () and the first tubular tail segment () in the extended state of the second tail segment (), each of said form-closing coupling members () capable of transferring torque and transverse forces, and each of said form-closing coupling members () coming into engagement by axial displacement of the second tail segment () in the outward direction.
