A convertible combined road, water, and aircraft vehicle (2) has a road form, a water form, and an aircraft form. The vehicle includes a vehicle body having a passenger compartment (16) and wheels (10,12) supporting the vehicle body on the ground when in the road form. A wing assembly (60,90) is attached to each side of the vehicle body. Each wing assembly includes a wing (60) and at least one propelling device (90) attached to the wing. A wing assembly rotating mechanism (64,80) rotates the wing assembly 360 degrees when the vehicle is in the aircraft form so that thrust is provided in 360 degrees. A wing assembly positioning mechanism positions the wing assembly between an open-winged flying position and a folded or closed-winged non-flying position. A rear propelling assembly (34) is provided to propel the vehicle in the air, and a tail assembly (40) is provided which includes elements for maneuvering the vehicle in air and water.
