Aircraft and helicopters are too expensive and difficult to operate, and they are mostly rejected by those who want to try their flight experience. However, according to the ExtremeTech website, California-based Aerofex has opened its Aero-X subscription, which looks like a suspension vehicle from the Star Wars movie, which will be sold for $85,000, expected in 2017. For the delivery, the depositor is required to pay a deposit of $5,000.
The price of $85,000 is naturally not cheap, but for early adopters, price is never a problem. If the Aero-X advertising effect is not exaggerated, then the suspension car is expected to be able to bear a weight of 140 kilograms, suspended "flying" at a height of 3.7 meters from the ground, driving at speeds of up to 72 kilometers per hour.
The design principle comes from the "fan"
In 2012, Aerofex first demonstrated the prototype of the suspension vehicle. At the time, the suspension vehicle was equipped with a bicycle-like structure and two large "fans" (similar to hovercraft).
The commercial version of Aero-X is scheduled to begin flight testing in 2016. The suspension car looks a lot lighter than its predecessors, and the chassis is made of a full carbon fiber composite with a net weight of 356 kg. The Aero-X is equipped with a natural-powered three-cylinder engine that can also carry two passengers (with a total weight of 140 kg) and a speed of up to 72 km/h.
Although the Aero-X website does not mention noise, the movement of such a product is naturally not small. The fully loaded fuel tank can support the Aero-X for 85 minutes. In addition, this suspension car can also achieve vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL).
In theory, it is not a fantasy to install two large fans on a motorcycle frame and then push the poles around. The real difficulty is how to create a safe, fun, and easy to control suspension vehicle. That's why, until now, there has never been a successful sample on the market. According to Aerofex, Aero-X "manipulates like riding a motorcycle."
Because of the "coupling effect", maintaining safety is no easy task. Almost all products with open runners are not stable. These devices are like ferocious beasts that require highly capable drivers to tame. This is like, it is difficult for you to climb into the helicopter, you can do which to fly - it is extremely complicated to control, the driver needs to control and offset the various forces at the same time. Therefore, even turning or tilting to the left or right is not easy, and a good technique is required to keep the floating car running smoothly.
However, Aerofex claims to have solved the "coupling problem" and applied for a patent, so if everything goes well, Aero-X is expected to be the first safe and easy to use suspension vehicle on the market.
Try personal flight commercialization
Users can ride almost anywhere on a floating vehicle - deserts, fields, hills, lakes, rivers. After consulting with the Federal Aviation Administration, Aerofex positioned the bike as an "ATV (ATV)" without the need to apply for an aircraft license. In addition to sports and entertainment, agriculture, the police, and the military all expressed their intention to purchase.
LGS is a widely applied building system in developed countries, used in both residential and commercial construction
for many decades. So, while LGS framing has recently become a viable contender in the home building industry, i t has
a reliable track record over an extended period for consistent performance as a structural material.
0.55mm to 1.2mm thick high tensile (G350-G550) Aluminum& Zinc coated steel is applied to factory production of
C-channel which can be used as structural member of wall panel, floor
joist and roof truss and delivered to jobsite for quick installation. LGS
building system is faster, stronger, more affordable, greener, seismic
resistance, termite-proof and recyclable.
