Dubbed the 'Formula Project' [ https://www.hoversurf.com/formula ], the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicle seats up to five people, and is powered by 52 turbine propulsion units and 48 electric thrusters. Its futuristic body is formed from 3D printed carbon fibre and metals, and it has fold-away wings, so it can fit into a normal car parking space or garage. It navigates using 3D vision technology, and is designed to be as aerodynamic as possible, with a good weight to strength ratio.

"Do you know the problem of all projects of flying cars? They are all made for the future. None of them you can not use today. Impossible to parked at the store or put in a garage," the company says on its website. "Formula - is created for the present day. You will not notice how quickly it will become a part of your life - conveniently and safely." Hoversurf made headlines earlier this year when it announced that police in Dubai would be using its hoverbike - called the Scorpion 3 - to patrol the streets. The Scorpion 3 is capable of flying five metres above the ground for up to 25 minutes, hitting speeds of up to 43mph and carry up to 300kg of weight. Russian bank Vnesheconombank has put several million US dollars into the project, and claims the bikes could be available to buy from as early as next year for between £30,000 and £60,000. "Actually, it is surely not a motorcycle. It is rather a prototype of a platform, which has a multifaceted future," the bank's chairman Sergey Gorkov said. "We believe it has prospects. We are planning to invest in this multifunctional platform. We think we will need several millions of dollars."
