A FLYING HOVER CRAFT BIKE

If hovercrafts and hoverboards don't float boat, how about a hoverbike? A company based in Californa called Aerofex is now taking pre-orders for the Aero-X hoverbike, which certainly looks like it walked off a star wars set. Don't expect to get delivery the week after placing an order because even because even though you have to pony up $85,000, the hoverbike wont't be delivered until at the very least.

It's like a star wars inspired Imperial Speeder Bike. The Aero-X hovers anove the ground at a maximum altitude of 12 feet(3.6 m) and can reach airspeeds of 45 mph(72 kmh). It can carry two people to a maximum load of 310 lbs(140 kgs).

Aero-X inventors Mark De Roche, an aerospace engineer and chief Technology Officer for Aerofex  Corporation who manufacture the Aero-x, wasn,t trying to create a star wars Imperial speeder. He wanted to create a better all-terrain vehice.

The problem with all-terrain vehicles(ATVS) is that they are not all terrain. You can't go over water, chasms or through swamps.

The hover-bike provides search and rescue crews, emergency responders, border patrols, surveyors, farmers, rancher and other users with an affordable vehicle that combines the benefits of all-terrain vehicles, aircraft and watercraft into one machine 

The aero-X has a Kinesthetic control system, which means the vehicle is controlled by learnng against Knee and handle bars to steer it sideways, backward or forward.

"You can learn to operate it safely in just weekend of training," says De Roche. Aerofex, based Manhattan Beach, California is selling the Aero-X for  $85,000 for delivery by 2017

And a gasoline powered three cylinder engine will provide, allowing the Aero-X to carry up two people as long as they weight under 310 lbs at speeds of up to 45 MPH
