Incredible flying hover bike lets you fly over desert like a Jedi - latimes.com
Forget the flying car. In the future of our dreams, we want to be
gliding around Jedi-style on hover bikes like the one currently in
development by Aerofex, an aerospace company in Manhattan Beach.
Aerofex
recently posted new video of its hovercraft gliding inches over a
crackly brown desert. The hovering action is provided by two ducted
rotors on the underside of the vehicle that spin in opposite directions.
A pilot controls the hover bike by leaning to the left and right, in
much the same way a rider controls a bicycle.
In a caption accompanying the video,
the company explains that it has added technology to keep dust and
debris away from the pilot, which apparently has been a problem with
rotored vehicles in the past.
Not this is cool!
