Russian drone company Hoversurf recently gave a sneak peak to what could be the future of transportation.

The hoverbike named Scorpion-3 is a single seat aircraft with the ability to fly and hover using a quadcopter-based solution. Essentially a massive electric powered drone, it allows the user (rider?) to have full manual and automated control of the hoverbike.

At the moment, the company states that “SCORPION platform is increasingly seen as an extreme sports instrument” and “was designed for extreme conditions” , they are building on solutions that could change the way transportation works, pushing out Air-Transport as a Service.

Regarding the design of Scorpion-3, the company states that they’ve “dedicated a lot of resources and efforts to R&D achieving that the [sic] unit’s size and shape resemble a compact dirt bike. The design of SCORPION platform was inspired by heavy-duty sport-utility motorbike frames and the concept was combined with flight qualities providing speed and maneuvering. The machine basically surfs through the air by changing altitude and direction.”

The Scorpion platform is also noted to be padded with safety systems using art flight controllers, special logical programming and passive elements with computer aided speed and altitude limiting.

SCORPION platform is part of a series of projects including Jetpack by Malloy, Aerofex, A. Duru, E-Hang, Bye Gravity, E-volo.
