“This is insane,” says Jesus Diaz at Gizmodo. A team of aerospace engineers from a California company called Aerofex have built and tested a fully functional hoverbike that looks like a prop straight out of Return of the Jedi. 

The team hopes to sell the flying bike to the military, noting that the vehicle could prove useful for squeezing supplies through tight, helicopter-defying spaces or for traversing muddy terrain without leaving any tracks.

Here’s how it works.

Did they actually say “sell it to the military”….?

These “breakthroughs” are made simply to be turned around & sold to the highest bidders, by the blindest inventors.
