A MECHANICAL HYBRID
It isn’t a plane or a motorcycle, but Willie Menkens homemade vehicle can do 55 miles an hour on an Oregon highway, which is speed in any language.
There’s a homemade tractor in the shed and a three-wheeled vehicle built of hazel twigs that flies along the road at 50 miles an hour, moved by a small airplane engine and propeller.
