Aero-X —individual transport for flight at low altitude

The first experiments on the subject of such flying platforms, the us military began in the mid-20th century. Then the idea didn't go to series, primarily because of doubts in the niche of application and control issues. Again the concept is remembered in the 21st century. About two ago, the company Aerofex announced their plans for creating a personal transport called the Aero-X to fly at low altitude, and it was recently officially announced that Aero-X will be on sale in 2017. The design has a very futuristic look and is able to soar above the earth at a height of 3.7 metres, reaching speeds of 72 km/h.



Need to control to watch your center of gravity. As the authors say, motorcyclists will deal with it very quickly. In the course of work on the control system was obtained several patents. To maintain good stability and compensation of wind gusts is used, the onboard computer on the basis of a regular mobile CPU. The same computer will limit the maximum speed and altitude for security purposes. The flying capacity of the bike is 140 kg, and the range on a full tank in 1 hour and 15 minutes.
P. S. And remember, only by changing their consumption — together we change the world! ©
