Japanese Company Develops Flying Motorbike



Japanese A.L.I. Technologies Inc has developed "Speeder," a motorbike-like floating vehicle, which will appear at next month's Tokyo Motor Show.

The body of the hovering vehicle is made out of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) in order to be lightweight enough.
 
The Speeder is actually a VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) vehicle that travels several tens of centimeters above the ground. Set for mass production in the second half of 2021, it is equipped with two engines in the front and rear parts, and each of them rotates a propeller to generate a propelling force downward. To move forward and make a turn, two small propellers on the right and left sides are used.

The Speeder is expected to be used for lifesaving at the time of disaster, in deserts and swamps and on the sea.

Reminds me of the flying motor bikes in the hit 90s move Judge Dredd!

Everybody thought that by the year 2000 we would be in flying cars and everything would be so futuristic....we are getting very close to that scenario tho...when i first saw that scene in "Aliens" where Ripley and that other guy was "face-timing" on the monitor, i thought to myse'f " haha that will never happen, and i won't live to see tech like that"

Fast forward and now iphones have facetime tech that allows you to see other people with crystal-clear clarity....facial structure security, pupil layered security, etc...the stuff we saw in sci-fi joints ages ago are a true reality today....
