摘要： An aircraft including a body and a pair of wings connected to the body by a mounting structure, the wings being movable between a first position in which the wings extend laterally from the body, and a second position in which the wings extend along the body from the mounting structure; wherein when the wings are in the second position, at least part of a first wing overlaps at least part of the second wing. 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. A method of operating the aircraft comprises placing the aircraft in transition configuration flight configuration with the wings in the first position; and moving the wings into the second position.
