An unusual vehicle is now being tested in the Czech Republic. Enthusiasts decided to cross a helicopter with a bicycle. Frames from science fiction movie? Already a reality. Two-wheeled construction circling over the heads of a bewitched audience. People applaud despite that the steering wheel is still a mannequin. Pilot on earth is not has the right to make a mistake. One awkward movement – and the only one instance will crash to the runway. Propellers move six motors consuming 50 kW of battery power. Front and rear are the main engines. Side – hold stability of the bicycle when cornering in the air. While the battery charge enough for 5 minutes of flight. But in the future, designers believe, similar facilities can be used in sports, in tourism and as a regular means of transportation. Inspiration for inventors became the romantic books of Jules Verne about fantastic devices, soaring between clouds and stars. Why don’t bicycles fly? Almost every boy asked a similar question in childhood. These dreams do not leave some in adulthood. They are ready before old age reinvent the wheel. In a workshop for the production of ordinary bicycles over the flying structure worked with awe. Sacrificed the weekend to touch the dream. But not to each of teams of dreamers will succeed in the near future to test their creation. The authors of the project do not exclude that the first bike pilot will become a woman. Flying with a person is the next stage of testing. Designers are waiting for special permission to move in the air space.
