Our Take on the Kalashnikov Flying Motorcycle

The Kalashnikov Flying Motorcycle came together quite quickly, featuring 8 pairs of rotors for vertical propulsion that also use variable thrust to facilitate accelerated forward flight. The hover bike features a metal frame that holds suitcase-sized batteries that power the entire device. Since its demo flight in 2017, no news has been released on the prototype or future plans for the project.
