Flying Bike



Aerofex company has tested a "flying" motorcycle, something resembling a speeder from the fantastic saga "Star Wars." In contrast to the cinematic analogue device does not use anti-gravity technology - instead, the creators of the bike equipped with two massive fans that provide lift silu.

According to the company, to manage such a vehicle can anyone, with no special training is required. When this apparatus is equipped with a special controller that react to the movements of the pilot, providing motion in the relevant direction of the motorcycle. To see the process in action in the video below:
To control a flying bike, a person must balance as it does when cycling. "Since the balancing is carried out on an instinctive level, ride the bike quite simple," - said Aerofex. Together with the human machine can rise to a height of 15 feet and develop a speed of 30 miles per hour (50 km / h). The data results are given for safety reasons rather than reflect the real technological possibilities of the machine.
The developers have not yet talked about whether there will be an air bike available on the open market (or, for example, will be available by the US Army) and what will be its price. The company is currently developing an improved version of the bike that will be shown in October. In addition, in 2013 Aerofex plans to test unmanned flying drones.
