The makers of the world's first hoverbike have revealed plans for a self flying air taxi that seats five. Hoversurf, whose hoverbikes are used by police in Dubai, is launching a new product known as'The Formula Project'. It uses fold-away wings and 52 tiny turbine Venturi propulsion units - and its makers say experience is not necessary to navigate the skies. The Hoversurf drone taxi operates with'no human factor involved', and its wings fold up, allowing it to fit in a standard car park space. They also include 80-centimeter platforms and can be parked in regular parking spaces.

Are you ready to live out your wildest speeder bike dreams? A Russian drone-building startup just dropped some crazy new video showcasing the closest thing we've seen to Return of the Jedi's famous vehicles IRL. Hoversurf's newest prototype, the Scorpion-3, is a single-seat electric quadcopter that looks to be the world's first fully rideable hoverbike. The vehicle, which can be controlled by a human pilot or remotely as a drone, could be used in the future for transport, shipping cargo, and more--once everyone gets adjusted to those dangerous-looking propellors spinning right next to the pilot's legs. The team behind Hoversurf aimed to make operating the Scorpion-3 as simple as riding a bike by combining a motorcycle seat and frame with quadcopter drone tech.
