But will it pack an Elk?

Crazy new invention by a company Volonaut in Poland. These air bikes look like the speeders in Star Wars.

The devil is in the details

Looks like a great corner crossing tool.

" The Airbike has a proprietary stabilisation system enhanced by a flight computer which provides automatic hover and ease of control for its rider,” the press release continues.

“The unique riding position with unobstructed 360 degree view helps the rider to quickly become one with the flying machine and provides the sensation of complete freedom.”

The lack of potentially-dangerous spinning propellers also means that the Airbike could be a real game-changer in crowded areas.

As for speed, the Airbike boasts more impressive numbers.
Descrbied as a ‘superbike for the skies’ the jet propulsion system allegedly allows the Airbike to carry one rider at speeds up to 200km/h or 124mph.

That’s seriously impressive if true.

Unfortunately, that’s all we know about the Airbike for now, but if that isn’t a tantalizing teaser, we don’t know what is."

The Volonaut Airbike looks like it came straight out of Star Wars

The Volonaut Airbike looks like something straight out of Star Wars, but is claimed to be capable of great speeds and could revolutionize personal air travel

I wont even need a gun, just run the pronghorn to death.

In all honesty, this seems like a terrible invention for public land and wildlife in general

Now you can run up on an elk or moose and bulldog it. Just make sure you don’t forget some heavy duty zip ties to immobilize it. You just know some jackass is gonna try exactly this and put it on YouTube.

Something tells me the guy riding that thing is a buck forty max….

Thing will probably only do 60 with me on it. I'd have to wave other smaller hunters around at the popular corner crossing joints.

Does it have a console where I can store my thermal?

Does it have a hands free flight mode so I can use the thermal while flying? Even better!

fair chase is for suckers!

Ironically it looks like a New Zealand landscape. I can imagine the mountains full of these things instead of choppers.
2 feet and a heartbeat is the price of admission IMO.

These types of advancements in technology will be our downfall.

@robby denning @Ryan Avery I call dibs to review this. Let me know when it ships to me.

 

[ABCWest]

And how far can it go on one tank of fuel?

Probably the same thought people had about snowmachines and atvs as well.

 

[Ten Bears]

I get the sentiment about possibly being “too far” with technology and hunting.

but there sure are a few dead fall holes that I would like to fly over and give the bird…

 

[Jebel]

I’d like to know how loud it is.

 

[AZ_Hunter_2000]

You know that's where you'd crash land...

 

[mostlybirch]

Great, the next best thing to hit public lands since side by sides

 

[fmyth]

I’d like to know how loud it is.

It uses "jet propulsion" so I'm going to guess it's very loud.

those F-35s that low level over my house are whisper quiet, doesn't at all sound like its ripping the atmosphere in half
