Today's Webtip: Hoverbike
While personal jet-packs are a step closer to reality, and flying cars remain just as far away as ever, another form of futuristic transportation is getting prepared for liftoff.
Literally.

The project seems to be pretty well developed, and the current team hopes to be making it's first offering of the devices sometime in the next year. But right now, they are still at the stage of ground testing, and looking for other people who might be able to help development.
More specifically, aeronautical engineers and anyone that could help them with computer modeling of the machine. I guess it only makes sense to get as much of an understanding of this thing as possible before taking the tethers off and heading for open sky. Learning to fly a completely new device capable of reaching extreme altitudes and high speeds is something you probably don't want to do blind.

It's a pretty amazing garage project and I can't wait to see where it goes.
