These micro flying cars can quickly switch between drone and unmanned vehicle modes to suit different mission requirements and environmental conditions, thereby meeting the needs of the technological era.
[0055] However, existing micro flying cars are generally integrated into one unit, and the flight components and car components in micro flying cars cannot be used independently, which limits the use of micro flying cars.

The host computer module 2 is mounted on the vehicle module 1 and detachably connected to it. The flight module 3 is mounted on the host computer module 2 and detachably connected to the vehicle module 1. Each of the vehicle module 1, host computer module 2, and flight module 3 can operate independently. By dividing the modular micro flying car into three independent modules (vehicle module 1, host computer module 2, and flight module 3), and detachably connecting these modules, this application facilitates both collaborative operation and independent operation of each module. Furthermore, positioning the host computer module 2 between the vehicle module 1 and the flight module 3 facilitates collaborative operation between the host computer module 2 and either the vehicle module 1 or the flight module 3. That is, when either the vehicle module 1 or the flight module 3 is detached, collaborative operation between the host computer module 2 and either the vehicle module 1 or the flight module 3 can be achieved. This provides ample operating space and easy disassembly.
