'This e-Hoverbike Should Replace All Cars Immediately'

This insane ride hails from Hungary; it's dubbed the Flike (flying tricopter) and designed by a team from Bay Zoltan Nonprofit Ltd. (which sounds like an evil genius conglomerate for charity). The Flike is an all-electric vehicle and uses a coaxial Y6 layout. This isn't a supersized remote control vehicle. Flike boasts a "full authority flight management computer" to control flight stability, lateral position, and altitude, making flying, "as easy as riding a bicycle." For all its thrill-appeal, Flike's designers didn't leave safety completely out of the equation. They note, "Since the six rotors are grouped in counter-rotating pairs of three axes, Flike is safe by providing emergency lift upon the unlikely event of one of the motors getting inoperable." It almost looks like a giant, manned quadcopter drone, except the Flike has three pairs of twin rotors. It looks far more fun than practical in its current form. I can't help but fear that a rider's hands or legs might get knicked (or severed) by the rotor blades. Even though the rotors are short, they are uncaged. I feel like either the blades should be enclosed or the rider should be encased, like a helicopter. [© 2015 SlashGear] ... http://whatisflike.com/ Flike is a revolutionary, all-electric personal flight device under development in Hungary. For the techies: it is a coaxial, Y6-layout tricopter, which means that the lift is generated by six rotors, grouped in counter-rotating pairs of three axes, equally located around a circle. http://www.cnet.com/news/could-the-flike-be-our-first-step-towards-getting-speeder-bikes/#ftag=CAD590a51e Could this hovering tricycle get us closer to speeder bikes? by Danny Gallagher June 3, 2015 A prototype of a hovering tricycle called the Flike takes off in a test flight -- and hopefully flies toward a future where we all can get around on flying bikes. ... http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/06/05/first-manned-hoverbike-flike-takes-off-in-hungary_n_7520026.html?utm_hp_ref=uk-tech&ir=UK+Tech This Hoverbike Should Replace All Cars Immediately By Nitya Rajan 05/06/2015 For EVLN posts use: http://evdl.org/evln/ http://www.torquenews.com/3618/how-can-leaf-owners-avoid-wait-times-charging#comment-44556 Tips to avoid EVSE-wait times http://www.aviationpros.com/news/11998447/phoenix-cars-supplies-1st-electric-shuttle-bus-for-los-angeles-airport-lax phoenixmotorcars.com e-Shuttle Bus for Los-Angeles-CA Airport http://r2.aviationpros.com/files/base/CAVC/image/2015/06/16x9/640x360/phoenixcars_e_shuttleLR600x400.557065ceeb40c.jpg http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/business/2015/05/31/1-Grocery-adds-electric-car-charging-station-for-shoppers.html Free2use EVSE @dorothylane.com Market Washington-Sq Dayton-OH + EVLN: Scania Testing Overhead-Line e-Trucks In Real-Life Conditions {brucedp.150m.com} -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/EVLN-Flying-e-tricycle-passes-manned-flight-test-v-tp4676214.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
