The aircraft can comprise a convertible vehicle having a flight configuration and a road use configuration, the wings being positioned in the first position for flight configuration and in the second position for road use configuration; wherein the vehicle further comprises road wheels, wherein the road wheels are moveable between an extended position for use when the vehicle is in the road use configuration, and a retracted position for use when the vehicle is in the flight configuration.
