Similar vehicles that fly in the "Star Wars"

Floating vehicle may not be sped through dense forest with ease like motors in the movie "Return of the Jedi" Star Wars, yet intuitive controls allow people to fly without pilot training.

This aerial vehicle resembling a flying motorcycle in science fiction films with two rotors instead of wheels. The initial design of this bike was neglected in the 1960s because of stability problems when tilted. However Aerofex, a company based in California, improve balance problems in the motor flew by building mechanical systems controlled near the knee. These vehicles can anticipate and control the pilot tilt the balance in a way that's more natural.

"Think of it like flying lower limit, up to the ATV area (cross-terrain vehicles)," said Mark De Roche, aerospace engineer and founder Aerofex.

Full intuitive as it allows doctors to visit patients in remote areas without roads or border county clerk duties without going through pilot training. Everything can happen without the need for electricity, artificial intelligence, or the flight software.

"Basically, this tool captures two of the three axis (moving forward, roll, and tilt) and enable aerodynamic control to balance the movement," said De Roche on InnovationNewsDaily. "Because the movement of the pilot in this plane balancing using instinctive and cash, is so very easy to control."

But Aerofex no plans to immediately develop and sell this vehicle. The company makes the motor space flight as a platform to test the unmanned attack aircraft - vehicles can be used for farm work or taking medication for SAR teams in areas difficult to reach.

Even the army or special forces could use such robots to carry or deliver heavy supplies in between tall buildings are narrow. The U.S. Navy has begun using a robotic helicopters to deliver supplies in Afghanistan.

Flying robot is probably not going to fly as efficiently as rotor helicopter rotors are shorter, but with the size, the rotor can be safer to be close to humans.

"This robot is able to fly among the trees, close to the wall, and under the bridge."

Aerofex central limit flight testing with humans only to a height of 15 feet or 4.5 meters and a speed of 48 km per hour, more on the basis of prudence rather than technology limitations. Old versions of this vehicle can move as fast as a helicopter, said De Roche.

Test flight in the Mojave Desert California is the basis of a scientific presentation about the achievements Aerofex Future Vertical Lift Conference in January 2012 ago. Aerofex plans to fly a second version of this vehicle in October, as well as the robot version in late 2013.
