Flying motorcycle created by Australian mechanical engineer Chris Malloy.
Powered by a 1170cc engine and two propellers, the final bike will be able to fly at the height of 10,000 feet with the top speed of 170 mph.
The cost of the production model is expected to be around $45,000 AUD.

Cool concept… except, when you get in a minor fender bender, you get your head chopped off.

This will never work in the real world. Too big, too noisy, too much energy needed. And like Troy pointed out, a small accident will most likely cause serious dmg to the driver and other people involved.

@ Sebe: good to see you understand product development. If we focussed on where it is at now we’d never see anything come of fruit. However a prototype is made so we can further develop it and eventually get it into a working marketable item. Therefore propelling mankind forward rather than stationary.
This is brilliant lets see more personal jets come to fruition.

OK. But can you ACTUALLY ride it?? They didn’t show the thing move. From what I can see, its just a seat with big fans. Looks like if they took those binders off, the whole thing would just fly up and flip over. I can’t see this working..

4 the half of the money he could design a functional prototipe of space bike propeled by ions, sell it to the NASA and make a couple buks to keep playin’ with something else, why not a comercial version of the batpod? i would buy it instead some bike that require a pilot license and a huge lak of common sense and self love…
