This is the Volonaut Airbike and is supposed to rewrite the rules of personal flight. The Airbike was built by the Polish inventor Tomasz Patan, who was also behind the Jetson One Evtol (electrical vertical starting and landing frame), and is different from anything you probably saw in the sky.
No, this is not vaporware or a concept, and this flying Hoverbike breaks every rule of personal aircraft design. No propeller, no cockpit, just an ultra -light frame, jet shear and the driver. They simply grab the handlebar like a motorcycle, lean forward and start the air. A proprietary flight computer translates your body movements into real -time flight into adjustments. Specific details on the exact drive method are expected because Patan wants to keep a confidentiality for the time being.
With its minimalist design and the use of 3D printed components and carbon fibers in its construction, the single-sitz airbike is seven times lighter than an excellent bike, which usually weighs between £ 300 and 500. Volonaut claims a top speed of 124 miles per hour. The lack of rotors offers you a unhindered 360-degree view as well as the mobility to fly much closer to trees and maneuver in stricter rooms, which challenges more conventional aircraft.
Since the latest debut by Airbike, it has triggered a wave of comparisons on the web with Speeder bikes from the return of the Jedi. Design details such as the red light strips in the back of the back certainly give it something that comes directly out of Star Wars.
How much could the airbike cost? Volonaut has not yet revealed a pricing or start date. For a context, the earlier creation of Patan, the Jetson One Evtol, which offers 20 minutes flight with electrical power and a top speed of 63 miles per hour, sells for $ 128,000. The Speeder from Jetpack Aviation: A flying motorcycle with a turbine drive that is aimed at military and rescue operations costs $ 380,000. Others such as the Ryse Recon and Skyblazer float up to $ 250,000 with $ 150,000.
