Batmobile "The Winged Warrior," 1989. The Tom Burton era Batmobile was based on a 1967 Chevrolet Impala with components from a Rolls-Royce jet engine usually be found in a Harrier VTOL jet.

It featured an emergency "Batmissile" mode that shed all bodywork outside of the central fuselage and reconfigured the wheels and axles to fit through narrow openings. Once deployed, the mode defenestrated the car's exterior, which required rebuilding afterwards.

After registering at the front desk (today’s Boston Park Plaza) as “Mr. Whitely,” he demanded a phone installed in his room not connected to the main switchboard. Meals must be served in his room and delivered by the same bellhop. And please, no surprise knocks on the door.
The mysterious little man was actually Frank Whittle, a 34-year-old Royal Air Force (RAF) officer, pilot, and inventor of the jet engine. Earlier in the year, he nearly suffered a nervous breakdown from exhaustion while racing to bring England, under attack from Germany, into the jet age...
