The Star Wars-style flying motorcycle

Do you remember the flying motorcycles from Star Wars, those motorcycles that circulated on the moon of Endor, as always good science fiction serves to open the mind, stimulate the imagination and sometimes inspire the inventors and they have developed it.

They have called the flying motorcycle Airbike, they have not killed themselves with the name, It was designed by a Polish inventor named Tomasz Patan. The interesting thing about the motorcycle is that it does not have blades. They call it a supermoto. The first video was published on April 26.

The objective is, according to the company, it could transport a person at speeds of up to 200 km per hour, they have not yet given the capacity, how far it can take you or the price, it also has a tremendous flight capacity, it can do hovering, that is, it can stay stuck in the air and it can do automatic flight. The company has also said that it has tremendous ease of control for its driving, it can rotate 360º, they have defined it with a phrase, “provides a total feeling of freedom” and the video above was the first, They say that the project has just come out of stealth development mode and that the inventor was going to give more information about this bike. It works with an air jet, what it does is project a jet of air and that is what pushes and keeps it high above the ground. There are other jets that give it more stability. It should be similar in design to other mini jets that have been used to fly these hand backpacks that the British Army has been testing. With this you can rise, it has a very limited autonomy.

And days later a fourth video of the flying motorcycle came out, on Star Wars day, I like the series of videos that this man is publishing more than any Star Wars series that Disney has published lately and he has published one with epic music, also playing a character, this time he dressed as an imperial soldier, and he has set up a company called Volonaut. It is completely real, the problem is the autonomy, it does not say it, I suspect that it should not have much autonomy, and this flying motorcycle is not so original, it is original because it has achieved this configuration in a motorcycle style, but it uses a series of propellers that have already been developed for some years, the first were the military ones for individual flight.
