LOS ANGELES — With its armored doors and bulletproof windows, the burly Humvee has been a stalwart ground transport for the U.S. military. But now the Pentagon thinks the vehicle should also be able to fly.
On Tuesday, Pratt & Whitney’s Rocketdyne division in Los Angeles announced it had been awarded $1 million to design a propulsion system for a flying Humvee.
Dubbed the Transformer, the robotic vehicle would have folding wings that pop out from the side of the vehicle and helicopter-like rotor blades.
