The LadyBug design is configured to be roadable. It must be no more than 8" feet wide and with 20" long overall to be practical. The LadyBug is a "transformer" vehicle and can go from take-off (slow take-off and landing speeds) to a high-speed configuration and back to the ground, water or roadway without stopping. The LadyBug meets all of the above criteria by using an enhanced airfoil shaped body designed to maximize the lift ability of said airfoil and to use to advantage the outward and inward currents that is inherent with such a short lateral length of airfoil. The LadyBug utilizes a novel aerodynamic design that can function at a high angle of attack to optimize low speed lift while still presenting minimal resistance to flow at high speeds. Moreover, the design features allow it to function on water or snow. The LadyBug design concept can also be scaleable to make larger versions. It also lends itself to be made out a wide range of construction materials.
