The most minimalist flying bike ever: no wings, no propellers, just a structural pod with jet propulsion. Bike Fly at Almost 125 mph, and might be the first hoverbike.
Details about the cool and futuristic project Volonaut Airbike are few. The press release mentions using “jet power” rather than propellers to propel the aircraft, claiming it is designed to carry a rider to speeds of 124.2 mph.
Airbike, the pure essence of flight
At first glance, it looks almost incomplete. A floating core with no wings, no propellers, no excess surfaces. Just a dense frame that contains propulsion, balance control, and pilot support. The corner struts act as landing gear, made of what looks like bent composite tubing. There are no visible suspension or modular attachment points. Everything is for weight, stability, and flight.
Every horizon remains visible. The 360-degree line of sight is intentional, designed to orient the rider in real time while maintaining the sensation of movement.
They aid in tracking in flight shots and situational awareness for other observers. When parked, the flying bike stays low. There are no tall vertical elements or extended fins. It looks ready to launch again at any moment.
In flight, it does not hover like a drone. It hurtles through the air. Ground dust is blown out from underneath, hurled by directional jet propulsion. There are no high-speed spinning blades. Lift and thrust come from a closed jet system.
