Hoverbike is a revolution in aviation, designed to do what a helicopter does, but cost less and do so better.<br>Support this Project here: <br>Hoverbike is a revolution in aviation, designed to do what a helicopter does, but cost less and do so better.<br>- It is said that if you give a man a fish, you can feed him for a day, but teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime -<br>The objective of this campaign is to kick-start sales of our beautiful 1/3rd scale Hoverbike drone and accessories via your pledges, and to help create a long term income stream that we can use to continue development of the manned Hoverbike. <br>A revolution in aviation.<br>The Hoverbike is the result of years worth of R&amp;D. We combined the simplicity of a motorbike and the freedom of a helicopter to create the world’s first flying motorcycle.<br>When compared with a helicopter, the Hoverbike is cheaper, more rugged and easier to use - and represents a whole new way to fly. The Hoverbike flies like a quadcopter, and can be flown unmanned or manned, while being a safe - low level aerial workhorse with low on-going maintenance.<br>We are in the final construction stages of the latest manned prototype of Hoverbike, and in a few months we will start flight testing. After the successful completion of test flights we will build a final engineering prototype for submission to aviation certification authorities. This all takes a lot of time and money and raising funds to achieve this is what this campaign is all about. We have a proven track record over the years, and our dedication to the Hoverbike development will continue beyond this kickstarter campaign until we are ready for sale of the manned Hoverbike. <br>Apart from being a beautiful quadcopter to look at and fly - why are we selling a 1/3rd scale drone? <br>This drone was originally built as a proof of concept for our latest full-sized Hoverbike prototype. After testing the 1/3rd Hoverbike, we realized that it had lots of features that made it a fantastic drone, not only this - selling this scale Hoverbike to the public would allow us to raise funds to continue the development of the manned version. <br>Apart from its stunning and original looks, our drone is safe and versatile, and when coupled with a 3DR Pixhawk flight controller it can fly by itself on a pre-determined flight path, return to home, loiter, follow and more!<br>Video used with permission.
