A gentle-terrain lawnmower cum leaf blower, strapped to an airfreight container - all for your tax dollars to play in.

Excellent.

It's a low cost brown out sim known as The Duster. Inexpensive all terrain Costco tires ensures that is for ground use only.

Don't laugh too hard. DARPA has an existing program for something similar called Transformer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA_TX). Lockheed-Martin is one of the participants (http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/19/4637784/lockheed-martin-building-darpa-transformer-tx-drone-car).
