MODEL VARIATIONS

Maverick Ultimate Roadable, All-Terrain, Aerial Vehicle  (URATAV)

Propeller- and wheel-drive has full capability; flight, roadable, and off-road. This is the ultimate Maverick.

Maverick High-Performance Aerial Vehicle  (HPAV)

Propeller-drive only; reduces vehicle weight by approximately 100 pounds for greater useful load in flight.

The HPAV is fully ground-capable, but limited to propeller drive in ground operations and is intended for operations where flight is of greatest utility and ground use is ancillary.

Maverick High-Performance, Roadable, All-Terrain Vehicle  (HPRATV)

Ground-drive only; this vehicle is designed for high-performance on and off-road. This model can be retrofitted for flight capability at a later date.

Maverick – Xtreme Roadable Vehicle (XTRV)

It weights less than 1,000 pounds and has more than more than 300 horsepower. It has perhaps the lowest weight-to-horsepower ratio of any road-legal car available to the public.
