Anomalocaris Posted July 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2015 There are a lot of advantages of the hoverbike over a regular helicopter. Primarily there’s safety. With adducted rotors you immediately not only protect people and property if you were to bump into them, but if you ever were to bump into somebody or property it’s going to bring the aircraft out of the air. So there’s a considerable safety level, which is a considerably high level of safety involved there. The other thing is cost. This is much less expensive to buy a hoverbike and much less expensive to run. http://sciencefiction.com/2015/06/28/star-wars-inspired-tech-military-developing-hoverbikes/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
