Dubai Police Create Flying Motorbike
Dubai Police creLamborghini patrol cars, self-driving robots and android officers, has decided to take to the skies in what can only be described as a flying motorbike.,
The vehicle, called the Scorpion and designed by Russian tech company Hoversurf, relies on four propellers to stay airborne, with the rider crouched precariously close to the exposed blades. Capable of 40 mph and a travel time of 25 minutes, the single-seat craft, which can carry 600 lbs, can also operate autonomously.
Unveiled at Dubai's Gitex Technology show, the Scorpion was presented alongside a new electric motorbike concept by Japanese firm Mikasa -- firmly rooted to the ground, but with a top speed of 124 mph according to the police and looking like something out of the film "Tron."
