Flying car, again

I like how the wings fold up, the same direction that lift is keeping the thing in the sky...

Counter-intuitive, I know. However, upwards is also how the wings fold on aircraft carrier-based planes since WWII. So there's got to be some trick to keeping them unfolded reliably.

Deadbolt, a tight fit = friction fit under windload, that thing aint coming out. ;)

 

I'd be interested to see a car with wings that fold down....? :)
