Incredible flying hover bike lets you fly over desert like a Jedi -

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!
