Volonaut has just revealed the Airbike. Airbike flying motorbike is a breakthrough in personal air mobility.
This groundbreaking design shares a lot of similarities to “speeder bikes” featured in popular science-fiction movies.
This is the first such “hoverbike” vehicle that does not use propellers to fly. Its silhouette and compact footprint closely resembles today’s sport motorcycles.
The futuristic single occupant vehicle is a realization of a bold concept often portrayed in science-fiction movies – this is where the inspiration came from many years ago and with time became the obsession to its creator.
This “superbike for the skies” is powered by jet propulsion and is designed to carry one person with speeds up to 200km/h or 124mph. The Airbike’s proprietary stabilization system enhanced by a flight computer provides automatic hover and ease of control for its rider.
The unique riding position with unobstructed 360 degree view helps the rider to quickly become one with the flying machine and provides the sensation of complete freedom.
Thanks to Airbike’s extremely compact size and no spinning propellers it can travel through most confined areas with ease.
Airbike is 7 times lighter than a typical motorcycle thanks to use of advanced carbon fiber materials, 3d printing and minimalistic approach. Airbike has just come out of “stealth” mode development by Polish inventor and entrepreneur Tomasz Patan who is also the founder of Volonaut.
The current version of the vehicle is a result of many months of hard work, solved challenges and multiple failures. It took the founder several iterations to get to a working and flightworthy design on which he attempted the first stable flight in May 2023 in Poland.
It is highly probable that Airbike will become available for purchase in the near future, although the price is yet to be communicated.
