Hover Bike on sale for $85000 with 2017 target delivery date
Basically, all open-rotor craft are unstable, finicky beasts that require a lot of skill to pilot. This is why you can’t just point a helicopter in the direction you want to go — there are all sorts of different forces at play that need to be controlled and counteracted at the same time, thus the helicopter’s massively complex controls. Merely leaning left or right, like on a motorcycle, isn’t enough — unless you have some clever technology that helps keep the hoverbike stable.
Aerofex says it’s solved the coupling problem, has filed the relevant patents, and thus — if all goes well — the Aero-X will be the first safe and easy-to-use hoverbike on the market.
In January 2012, Aerofex presented its recent work at the American Helicopter Society Future Vertical Lift Conference in San Francisco. The technology discussed utilizes ejector dynamics to augment the thrust and control of ducted-fan aircraft. The goal of the effort is to simplify vertical flight, in this case by eliminating the complexity of cyclically-variable rotors.
It will fly up to 10 feet off the ground at 45 miles per hour. It’s a hovercraft that rides like a motorcycle – an off road vehicle that gets you off the ground.
The Aero-X can be adapted for unlimited outdoor uses: surveying, search and rescue, border patrol, disaster relief, aerial agricultural, ranching, and much more.

Luke … I need you to fly over to Moss Landing and pick up those power converters
Oh gee… Do I have to … I was going to try out my new laser on some whomp rats
Gyroscopic forces its called.
For instance when the pilot tell the chopper to go forward, the command to the blades already go 90 degrees before other wise forward will let you go right!! If the blades turn clock-wise.
Same applies with this thing. Pitch control here works basically the same principle as a helicopter then?
