Plane Driven’s PD-1 is another entrant in to the already crowded roadable aircraft concept of which is being led and popularized by the MIT alumni designed Terrafugia LSA (Light-Sport Aircraft).
The PD-1 is expected to be offered as a kit to convert aircraft into a vehicle capable of traveling on roadways with cars. The demonstrator is using a converted Glasair Sportsman as the aircraft. The drive pod underneath the aircraft is slid from its position directly below the plane during flight to its aft station while in drive mode.
