Ride of the future? Start-up shows off new 'hoverbike'

Helicopters are using more and more electronic computer aided control to help with flight. Why not the same with the hover craft? Might be able to do more exotic things, as in go faster and higher, with safety.

...because I suspect that this thing, like most hovercraft, is real loud. Looks like it might be a fun ATV-like toy for use in the desert, but of little practical use elsewhere. It certainly wouldn't be popular going down your typical city or suburban street.

I want one!

Most folks think of Farm Country as relatively flat and easily navigated by wheeled vehicles. Lately, tank-like tread kits for ATV's have made it possible to get to the less than flat places that are, in fact, plentiful in Farm Country. But, especially where Farmers have herd animals that graze, some of that land is anything BUT flat. This could become the tool of choice for year-round work in many areas, especially if can be augmented with more power (Farmers LOVE more power), to hover up to 10 feet above grade.

It would be highly profitable for this technology to explore the possibility.

Having the payload above the lift system is a amateur design mistake from the get go. The most stable weight configuration for this thing is upside down, unfortunately. While the center of gravity can't be below the payload in a hovercraft, but it could be between rather than above the lifters and much lower - adding much higher stability. I think the designer saw too much of StarWars when he should of been re-taking Physics 101..

If the payload is at the bottom, then the fans/props will be farther from the ground. This vehicle depends in part on ground effect for lift. The farther from the ground, the less ground effect. Instability can be countered the same way it is on some military aircraft. A computer would sense unwanted movements & make corrections by vectoring the thrust or moving control surfaces faster than a person can.

How about a auto leveling gyroscope like on model planes.
