A directional control system for a hybrid transportation vehicle for ground and air transportation is provided. The vehicle has at least one steerable wheel for use in ground operation, the wheel being connected to a steering mechanism, wings having moveable control surfaces, and a tail having at least one moveable control surface. The directional control system has a first shaft (201) having a first control input first steering wheel (211) at one end, wherein the first shaft (201) is linked to the steering mechanism and a second shaft (202) that extends through the first shaft (201) and is independently rotatable and slidable with respect to the first shaft (201). The second shaft (202) has a second control input at one end, a first linkage (230) configured to transmit a rotational movement of the second shaft (202) to control the moveable control surfaces on the wings, and a second linkage (240) configured to transmit an axial movement of the second shaft (202) to control the moveable control surface on the tail. |
