The FBike Concept Allows Long Leaps to Avoid Traffic Congestions
For those who wish bikes flew, the FBike concept has swooped in to grant them. Although still in its conceptual stages, it is a flying bike that would solve many traffic jam problems. It might look large and unwieldy, but isn't that the case with most first steps in a new direction?
Conceived by Aleš Kobylík, Václav Zajíc, Milan Duchek and Jan Cinert, the FBike concept is a collaborate effort between a Czechoslovakian design firm, Czechoslovakian light aircraft manufacturer and Czechoslovakian bicycle company. The FBike concept is equipped with two main lift fans along with two side-mounted propellers to allow vertical take-offs and landings as well as three-axis control. Entirely electrical, it boasts about three to five minutes of flight time at 30 miles an hour, which essentially lets the bike hop over obstacles.
