      The Flying Bike is Here Sooner than You Think

      HoverbikeDo you dream of riding like a Stormtrooper in “Star Wars? That dream may become a reality sooner than you think.

      Deep in the English countryside, aeronautical engineers are perfecting a new generation of aerial drone. With increased stability and maneuverability, and able to carry a much heavier payload.

      This small drone  is just the 1/3rd proof-of-concept model for something much more ambitious, a full-sized quad-copter Hoverbike that can be piloted by a person as well as flown by remote.

      It’s the brain-child of engineer and helicopter pilot Chris Malloy. His Kickstarter campaign was so successful that this New Zealand engineer, whose company is based in London, was able to raise $105,000 in online donations, more than double his original goal.

      Check the video of the cool flying bike, that is a cross between a helicopter and a motorcycle.
