Narrow vehicles and jet aircraft vehicles
Thin, Narrow vehicles have a single front seat, the driver seat, and as a result are at least 25% narrower than current four-wheel vehicles that have two front seats. Average US car occupancy rate is approximately 1.55 persons per vehicle mile, so narrow vehicles, comprising a non-adjustable width that is less than fifty-eight inches, a driver seat, and two seats in each back row, would provide increased seating options. As a result of the reduced width and reduced weight of narrow four or more-wheel highway vehicles, the vehicle performance increases, and production costs, traffic congestions, parking unavailability, fuel consumption, and CO 2 emissions are reduced relative to a four-wheel highway vehicle. Because of their reduced width, narrow vehicles allow for lateral room to incorporate two jet engines on the lateral sides, and wings that extend and retract laterally from the roof and/or the floor, to create jet aircraft vehicles.
1. A narrow vehicle comprising:
A) a width that is in between forty to fifty-eight inches, said width being a non-adjustable width,
B) a floor and a plurality of seats,
C) a plurality of battery packs, or fuel cell tracks under said floor,
D) wherein said seats are a driver seat only in a front seating row, and two seats forming a row of seats behind said driver seat,
E) four wheels;
wherein said narrow vehicle comprises a respective jet engine above respective ones of said wheels, said wheels further comprising propeller blades, as radials, said propeller blades rotating from parallel to said wheels to perpendicular to said wheels and operating as upward lifting propellers.
2. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said narrow vehicle further comprises a narrow vehicle parachute, and/or more than four said wheels and an attached modular passenger compartment comprising one or more said rows of seats.

4. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said narrow vehicle is a highway vehicle, comprising a roof, a hood, and a trunk, wherein said roof, and/or said hood and/or said trunk further comprise solar panels, wherein said roof, and/or said hood and/or said trunk are constructed primarily by materials lighter than steel.
5. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said narrow vehicle, does not include a front passenger seat, does not include a front passenger door, and further comprises a window on said front passenger side, said driver seat, and said two seats in each of said back rows of seats, wherein said narrow vehicle further comprises one or more doors, and one or more said jet engines.
6. The vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising axles, wherein said axles and/or said wheels further comprising propeller blades, as radials and/or as blade attachments to said axles.
7. The vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising an engine having an engine size, wherein said engine is either a gas or a hybrid or an electric or a biofuel or a diesel or a hydrogen engine and/or a jet fuel engine, and/or jet fuel engines.
8. The vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein said narrow vehicle further comprises a horizontal axis, two back wheels and two front wheels, and two or four respective jet engine enclosure structures above or above and laterally away respective ones of said wheels, wherein said jet engine enclosure structures may rotate downward by 5 to 25 degrees relative to said horizontal axis, wherein said narrow vehicle does not include said plurality of battery packs or fuel cell tracks under said floor.
9. The vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein said narrow vehicle is constructed primarily with materials lighter than steel, wherein said narrow vehicle further comprises wings, wherein said wings further comprise extending and retracting smaller wings, stabilizers, flaps, slats, rotating up to 90 degrees, wherein said vehicle width of said narrow vehicle is adjusted by laterally extending and/or retracting said wings from said roof and/or from said floor and/or said hood and/or said trunk of said narrow vehicle.
10. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said narrow vehicle has a vehicle veracity and has a vehicle width, wherein said narrow vehicle further comprises a plurality of solar panels on said roof and/or said hood and/or said trunk of said narrow vehicle, wherein said roof and/or said hood and/or said trunk are constructed primarily by materials lighter than steel, wherein said narrow vehicle further comprises folding and unfolding exterior mirror casings, wherein said narrow vehicle is driverless said front seating row comprises two seats.
11. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said narrow vehicle has an interior and an exterior, and further comprises electronic and electrical inlets and/or outlets on said interior and/or on said exterior of said narrow vehicle, wherein said narrow vehicle is controlled and driven or driver assisted by an external or interior cellular telephone, and/or a computer tablet, or video game console or an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV, control console.
12. The vehicle as in claim 11 , wherein said narrow vehicle does not have a back seating row, wherein said narrow vehicle further comprises only one door, and only one seat, and said wings, wherein said narrow vehicle does not include said plurality of battery packs or fuel cell tracks under said floor.
13. The vehicle as in claim 11 , wherein said engine hood, and/or said trunk and/or said roof are primarily constructed by materials lighter than steel, wherein said narrow vehicle further comprises; said extending and retracting wings from said roof and/or from said floor and from said trunk, said one, two, or four jet engines, said narrow vehicle parachute, said lie-flat seat, said interior electrical and electronic inlets and outlets, said attached passenger compartment, wherein said narrow vehicle does not include said exterior mirror casings.
