Zusammenfassung:A combination two vehicle system is provided that includes a land-based vehicle configured for traversal over ground and an aerial vehicle configured for travel through air, where the aerial vehicle is configured to detachably couple with the land-based vehicle. The aerial vehicle includes stabilizing legs to provide stability for take-off or landing. A method of operating the vehicle system includes steps of: providing the land-based and the aerial vehicle having the stabilizing legs, and aerially transporting the vehicle system including the land-based vehicle and the aerial vehicle, where the stabilizing legs provide stability for take-off or landing. In addition, the land-based vehicle may transport a removable cargo pod, which the aerial vehicle may independently retrieve from the land-based vehicle.
