ODD ROAD VEHICLE TEACHES TYROS TRICKS OF AIRPLANE CONTROL

A curious road vehicle, guided by controls exactly like those of an airplane, has been devised by a French inventor to enable would-be pilots to learn some of the maneuvers of flight without leaving the ground. Wheels on outriggers simulate the action of ailerons on a plane’s wings, keeping the machine on an even keel in straightaway travel and controlling its tilt in rounding a turn, as demonstrated by the inventor in the illustration above.
