A while back, Volonaut—a Polish startup—somewhat broke the internet's brain with an e-VTOL motorcycle concept that was basically a speederbike from Star Wars. So many stories were written about our upcoming Star Wars future, it was hard to see how we'd escape that fate. We may not have, given the state of the world at present...
At the time, the Airbike, or so it was called, was powered by batteries and featured a handful of helicopter-esque rotor blades. While it was functional, it was sketchy as hell, didn't have much range, and led the designer to scrap the original design. But where would they go from that promise?
Now the company's back with a rotor-less prototype that's powered not by electrons, but good old-fashioned jet fuel.
