Congratulations Russia! Maybe you could look into re-inventing the wheel soon?

Look up "powered paragliding" and you'll see any number of trikes just like this one (okay, some more rudimentary). Hardly seems revolutionary except that there's steering on this one. And it doesn't exactly look like it would be licensed for road use anywhere but Russia.

Ultralights can be fixed-(solid?)-wing too, of course. The only requirement is that they be under 254lbs.

Except those were more like flying snowmobiles.
