In the USA they sell a home -made car built from the aircraft fuselage

An unusual car is equipped with a Volkswagen Beetle engine. The three-wheeled machine is based on a double-range Rutan Long-EZ aircraft, which was built in 1979. The model was distinguished by the arrow -shaped wings and the motor with a propeller located behind the pilot. Now, a hybrid vehicle can be bought for $ 42,500 (about 3.5 million rubles).

The Rutan Long-EZ plane was designed for flights about three thousand kilometers. Since 1979, about 800 similar aircraft have been built in the United States, one of which formed the basis of an unusual vehicle. The creator of a three-wheeled hybrid bought Rutan Long-EZ, damaged during transportation.

First, the owner was going to use the glider as an advertising sign for his business, but then he redid the model to the custom car, which registered as the 1971 Volkswagen. In the process of work, the man restored and repainted the fuselage, manufactured the original chassis and exhaust system. A homemade hybrid drives a 1.9-liter engine from Volkswagen Beetle.

Despite the unusual design, a three -wheeled car was allowed to travel to public roads.

At the end of February, the United States sold the symbiosis of the Honda Valkyrie motorcycle and the classic Chevrolet Camaro. The owner estimated the hybrid vehicle at 800 thousand rubles.
