The Air Water and Land Vehicle - What do you do when you want
everything? You want to get into flying, but you also want a
motorcycle, then again a boat for the cottage would be nice? Well
Victor Henson of Rock Island IL might have just what your
after.
Victor has designed and built a powered parachute, that The AWL (pronounced ALL) is street legal with handle bar steering, hand brakes, turn signals, headlight, and horn. It has also been registered as watercraft - but the floatation system is not ready to be sold to the public yet. As a single seat aircraft it weighs 470 lbs about the same as a two place ultralight. The chute used is a by High Energy Sports. The craft comes built, and Victor indicates that he will be able to take orders by end of summer. The AWL was flying in the ultralight circuit at Airventure and it's first flight was 6/05/2002. For more information contact: Victor Henson |

converted into an inflatable boat. Two engines are used to
power it, a 503 Rotax of 50 hp powers it as a parachute and air
boat, and a 5.5 hp Tecumseh engine is used when driven as a land
vehicle. Airspeed and ground speed are approximately 30 mph,
speeds as an airboat are not yet available as it is still in the
testing stage.
