    Abstract: A fly/drive vehicle (1) has a road riding condition and a flying condition, and is easily convertible between the road riding condition and the flying condition. The vehicle comprises a body (10) with a passenger compartment (11) and a drive compartment (12), at least one steered wheel (13) and at least one driven wheel (14), and a propulsion propeller (20). The propulsion propeller has a central propeller base (21) projecting outside a longitudinal end of the vehicle, and two propeller blades (22) hinged to the central base (21). In the flying condition, the propeller blades (22) are in an operative spread-out position, in which they extend substantially in line with each other substantially perpendicular to the propeller's rotation axis. In the road riding condition, the propeller blades (22) are hinged about substantially vertical hinge axes to be directed more parallel to the longitudinal direction.
