Flying motorbike

[Blatman]

Well, sort of. Former test pilot Larry Neal of Boyd, Texas created this awesome flying machine called the Super Sky Cycle (basically a flying bike - technically a cross between a motorcycle, trike and an autogyro).

The flying bike goes as fast as 70 mph in the air and 60 mph on the road, and sells for around $25 grand!

I had my bike airborne once, completely rooted the front end when it landed.

There is also the "Air Bike"

Think motorcycle crossed with Piper Cub

Two seat tandem, open fuselage, real simple

Dont think there are any in NZ, but they crop up on eBay every now and then

Throwback to the "autogyro" ancestors of the modern day helicopter...


Only 60mph on the road???? May as well walk....
