Think of it as half drone, half motorcycle: A new hover bike prototype aims to make flying as simple as riding a bike.
Hover surf, a Russian drone start up, recently unveiled its Scorpion-3 hover bike in a test- flight video — making it the first manned quad copter that has undergone testing, reported Futurism, a science and technology news website.
The Scorpion-3 combines quad copter-drone technology with a traditional motorcycle design, resulting in an electric-powered hover bike that can lift itself and a pilot into the air. According to Hover surf’s website, the hover bike can be flown by both professionals and amateurs, because the bike’s custom software allows for both manual and automated control.
