Abstract
A method of control and a means for control for a vehicle constructed by temporarily integrating a conventionally controlled motorcycle and a fixed wing flight device. The method includes a means of control for maneuvering a vehicle, enabling a handlebar to tilt, rotate and move up and down; translating these movements to a flight device. The control means for vehicle flight control converts to a ground vehicle control means and vice versa. In one preferred embodiment, the method employs a mechanism comprising an apparatus, including a first means for enabling tilting of the handlebar without rotating the front wheel of the motorbike, and for allowing the handlebar to be raised and lowered without raising and lowering the wheel. The movements of the handlebar are translated to control ailerons, elevator and rudder of the flight device for making roll, yaw, and pitch adjustments.
