According to “Gizmag”.com, the future of transportation has arrived. The scrawny “flying motorcycle” may spark the new era of flight controlled by ordinary people. Although scrawny in appearance, this definition fits not with performance. The contraption itself is essentially a three wheeled frame with a collapsible rotor on the top (giving it the appearance and maneuverability of a helicopter) and another vertical one in the rear so as to drive the vehicle forward. It is able to house one person and can exceed speeds of 55 mph on land and 100 in flight! “There’s nothing else like it, a gyroplane that can fly at better than freeway speeds, land in 20 feet, be driven home as a motorcycle, and fit in your garage” states Larry Neal (initial creator of the aircraft). The most significant aspect of this invention is its versatility; it can be driven on land (it is allowed on roads too) or in the air. Imagine the advantages; speed limits don’t exist in the air so maximum speeds may be encountered; if you are running late, are in a traffic jam, or just have a need for speed, this cycle will not simply suffice, it will out- perform any other available compact flyer on the market.

For only $37,195, I don’t think a person could possibly argue the aircraft’s expensiveness. Keep in mind though that most aircrafts of this stature are radically more expensive; take for example the Cessna 172. This tiny counterpart tips the scale at a staggering $50,000! Although the Cessna is slightly faster than the Flying Motorcycle, the cycle still claims advantage over the Cessna and other comparable aircraft, for it is able to operate in the atmosphere and on the earth, plus, it relies on a rotor blade mounted on its top; this feature will ensure maximum maneuverability unlike conventional “forward only” aircraft. Because Neal has priced his obviously incredible breakthrough in technology at a meager (for an aircraft) $37,195 he understands the benefits of his contribution to the world and wants it in circulation (obviously if he’s a vender).

I have always complemented the benefits associated with flight. For this reason, I would seriously consider purchasing one of these fine machines. They are compact (the blades fold inward), efficient (traveling at speeds exceeding 100mph), and an all around enjoyable experience to operate (for air pioneers like me). In 20 years, the sky will almost certainly adopt a new face, and I’ll be one of the millions up there in my super sky cycle contributing to that alteration.
