On May 4, aka Star Wars Day, Volonaut released a video of someone dressed as an Imperial scout trooper riding the company’s new Airbike.
Volonaut says the Airbike boasts a top speed of 124 mph and is seven times lighter than a traditional motorcycle due to the use of carbon fiber materials. Instead of propellers, Volonaut’s Airbike is powered by jet propulsion, giving the vehicle a smaller footprint and greater maneuverability in tight spaces.
Volonaut released a special Star Wars Day video showing its Airbike flying through a forest like the one in Return of the Jedi.
The Airbike is the latest project from Tomasz Patan, Polish inventor and co-founder of Jetson, the company behind the Jetson One flying machine we’ve previously covered on What the Future.
