The advance of technologies is increasingly impressive. What we thought was going to be the future, is getting closer. Such is the case, that a few months ago the flying motorcycle had been thrown.
That’s how it is, A motorcycle capable of circulating through the air without the need for wheels or traffic. Now, months after its launch this vehicle is already on sale, but at an extremely high price.
The first flying motorcycle in history
The Volonaut Airbike It is a flying motorcycle developed by Tomasz Patan. It’s about an ultralight vehicle for vertical take -off and landing (VTOL) driven by jet microurbins. Its design reminds Star Wars’s “speers” and is intended as an ultralight vehicle for individual use.
Works thanks to A propulsion system without visible propellerswhich makes it compact and safe in small spaces. It can reach up to 200 km/halthough there is a limited version of 102 km/h that complies with ultralight regulations in the United States and does not require pilot license.
The vehicle weighs between 30 and 40 kg Thanks to carbon fiber and 3D printing materials, and can transport A pilot of up to 95 kg. His flight autonomy is around 10 minutesbut the refueling is done in less than a minute and is compatible with different fuels such as diesel, jet-a or biodiesel kerosene.
Unlike the Jetson One, this flying superbike has an outdoor configuration: it does not have a chassis that encloses it. In addition, it leans forward, neither are rotating propellers visible and thanks to their compact size, This flying superbike can move through small and narrow spaces.
During launch, Tomasz Patan raised his personal aeromoto, sliding around a valley and a forest. The Volonaut Airbike was a surprise. This is because Patan’s team developed it without press leaks.
Patan states that Volonaut Airbike also has a patented stabilization system. The design team improved it using a flight computer, which gives the flying supermot the automatic stationary flight capacity.
