Then you should check out the Aerofex hoverbike, Aero-X. This contraption is about the size of a small car, but much cooler than any sports car of a comparable size and price.  It’s a pretty speedy contraption, capable of reaching 45 miles per hour, though much slower than a motorcycle or sports car. The navigation is very similar to a motorcycle, so the rider won’t need any pilot training. CTO and founder Mark DeRoche told BBC he believes it could be used by farmers, for agriculture and herding animals, by emergency services for search and rescue missions, and even by border patrol officers. Right now, Aerofex is speaking with the U.S. government about potential uses, as well as looking into an unmanned version of the hoverbike that would operate as basically a giant, fancier drone.
