B is a Kickstarter. A hybrid car-helicopter that can handle both challenging terrains and limited air travel that was designed by Witold Mielniczek, a computational engineering Ph.D. candidate at the University of Southampton. The little guy is equipped with a sleek polycarbonate chassis, four propeller driving units and an HD 1,280 x 720 camera.

Mielniczek hopes that one day, B will be able to operate on water as well.

Here is B in action:
