The 23-foot-long, 7.1-foot-tall amphibious Icon A5 light sport aircraft (LSA)—a category that the Federal Aviation Administration created in 2004—features wings that tilt vertically and fold flat against the side of the fuselage, reducing the plane's width from 34 feet to 8.5 feet. The aircraft can be towed behind an SUV or a pickup truck on a specially designed towing trailer. With a range of 345 miles and room for 60 pounds of luggage, the two-seat A5 is ideal for weekend getaways. In this clip, we see just what a dual-purpose aircraft can do. http://robbreport.com/aviation/pilots-delight
