Here’s a statement I’m pretty sure isn’t hyperbolic: Everyone wants a hoverbike. Once you get one of the flying motorcycles, all you’d need is Steppenwolf following you around on one of those giant amp-mobiles from “Mad Max: Fury Road” constantly playing “Born to Be Wild” and you’d be the coolest person who ever lived.
We may be getting closer to that moment. A number of companies and builders are developing their own designs for hoverbikes, and the US military wants a crack at the contraptions. The US Army Research Laboratory struck a deal with two companies, Malloy Aeronautics (MA) and Survice Engineering, to develop hoverbike technology for the US Department of Defense. The companies announced their deal last Tuesday at the International Paris Air Show, according to Survice, a Maryland-based company specializing in national-defense engineering. The US Army didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
