This prototype vehicle demonstrates the potential of quadraflapper propulsion on low drag land vehicles. The wheels are non-drive, passive type. forward movement is imparted by the variable geometry "paddles" on the ends of the swinging booms.

  • there are aircraft that use the principle...please check out the 'quadraflapper in repose" video
