At the Paris Air Show British company Malloy Aeronautics and Defense Department showed its latest development - a flying motorcycle (hoverbayk).





This transport is suspiciously reminiscent of something ...



Yes this is hoverbayk of "Star Wars"! Now these soldiers will fly to the US Empire.

Malloy Aeronautics developing this bike for several years and described him многочисленные advantages over conventional helicopter. The first is security: hidden in the housing screws are not only no one hurt in the collision, but do not put the flying machine to continue the flight. Secondly, the cost: it is much cheaper to manufacture and operate.

Housing bikoptera made of carbon fibers with the foam. Perhaps in the future you can adapt the design of a quadrocopter with four screws.

To test the concept of aircraft designers built a workable model in a scale of 1: 3. She is depicted in the photographs.







There is a full-sized version of the increased stability and maneuverability, and can be sent to the autopilot with or without a passenger at a given location. Thus, it is able to deliver the goods or prisoners.

Such vehicles are encouraged to use in rescue operations in the rapid reaction force, as well as for transportation of goods in remote places. Basically, it is a universal machine that has many applications in the military or humanitarian missions.

Now developers are planning to make a full-sized version of the device and test it. Then flying motorcycle is tested to meet military requirements.

If Malloy Aeronautics remain an independent company to hoverbayki of "Star Wars" may appear in a commercial sale.

By the way, similar devices Aero-X and the company develop more Aerofex from Los Angeles. It promises to bring them to market in 2017.
