Military Wants “Heliplane Jet Tank Car”

DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) has sent out a work order to the company or agency who can build them a flying vehicle that can travel both by land and air, lift off without a runway, carry up to four personnel, and handle itself in the battlefield.

Sounds like a lofty task, but the government really wants one. Inspired by the Transformers movies, they have held a free prospector's day and look to hold future events to share the vision of their "Heliplane Jet Tank Car."
