    US Patent 6,877,690

    A combination powered parachute and motorcycle modifies an initially
    conventional motorcycle with the addition of various flight components to
    provide sustained flight for the machine.

    A peripheral and overhead safety structure is installed upon the motorcycle,
    with a second flight engine, propeller, folding propeller guard, and fuel
    system also installed. The flight engine and all of its systems are
    completely independent of the conventional motorcycle engine used for
    surface propulsion.

    A set of laterally disposed stabilizer wheels is also
    provided for transition from ground to flight and from flight to ground
    operation. Lift is provided by a folding parafoil device of either the ram
    air inflated or partially pneumatically inflated type.

    For flight operations, the lateral wheels are lowered and extended, the
    folding propeller guard is extended, and the parafoil is deployed behind the
    motorcycle, with the parafoil lifting conventionally upon attaining flight
    speed.

    Fucking *AOL*!

    A merkin company have managed to not only get granted patents, but have
    successfully defended so-called 'infringements' against said patents on
    technology which has been *proven* to be "prior art". But said company
    though has shedloads of scu.., sorry, lawyers on retainer who are very
    active indeed in litigating. Do a google for "Color Kinetics patents"
    If you do come up with a patentable idea or design, it costs *loads* in each
    country just to get it granted. Even then, the Chinese (who really don't GAF
    about anyone's patents) copy & market it anyway, with total impunity.
    FERITE.
