MAYBE when we are kid, we've fantasized about a future in which vehicles are no longer using the tires to get moving. The traffic was filled with vehicles that float several inches above the ground.
Flying Motorcycle is inovatively Created by Malloy
Today is no longer a fantasy fiction. The reason Chris Malloy has created a flying motorcycle, called Hoverbike 1170 cc four-stroke engine that produces 107 hp power to turn two propellers.
Chris Malloy said Hoverbike can reach a height of more than 10 thousand feet (3048 meters) with a maximum speed of 150 knots (278 km / h).
The figures are currently only based on theory, but Hoverbike Malloy has made a prototype and will conduct flight tests in the real world creation tool which will take place in the months ahead.
Day-to-day, Malloy worked as an employee in optical engineering company in Australia. but in two and a half years, he worked Hoverbike in his garage coming home from the office he worked.
As a result created a prototype that mamiliki Hoverbike frame made of carbon fiber reinforced Kevlar and equipped with two horizontal propeller in front and back that can carry a rider.
The working principle of this propeller does not use a system of single-rotor helicopter that complicated, but follow the principles of tandem rotor Chinook helicopter. Both the rotor blades spinning in opposite directions to eliminate torque effects of the two rotors.
This system eliminates the need for vertical anti-torque rotor is commonly encountered in conventional helicopter. Double rotor blades are also able to increase the efficiency of the vehicle.
As in a conventional motorcycle, the control Hoverbike fully controlled from the handlebars. Forward-backward movement controlled by the grip like on a motorcycle. Grip the right hand is used to increase thrust, while the left grip controls the angle through both the rotor speed setting. When crouched next vehicle will be developed and vice versa when the vehicle backwards.
Malloy also has considered the factors of security and safety for vehicle drivers creations. Although the current prototype does not have an emergency system that allows the blades still spinning when the engine trouble, but the vehicles can be equipped with two automatic parachute tethered to the frame, or pegendaranya own parachute equipped.
Malloy also plans to implement the entire system is controlled by the gyros (devices used to guard the stability of existing automated on a helicopter) and he had already reached the stage of designing and testing circuit and the necessary code.
