Another way to die on a motorcycle. Several millions Im sure.
Ill stick with my terrestrial gas powered bikes.

Given the attention of your average driver, you might be safer in the air.

For a while, at least.

[HombreSecreto]

Pretty cool...but it's been done.

[LIConFem]

Time to invest in companies that manufacture ballistic parachutes.

[dljordan]

There's a reason you have to take training and study hard to get a pilot's license. It keeps the riff-raff out. Mostly.

How well does it glide after an engine failure?

[DOC44]

‘How well does it glide after an engine failure?”

Like a rock

[Bigbrown]

Agreed. I fly a 300 million dollar jet with a take off gross weight of 987.5 thousand pounds. I have a commercial helicopter rating as well, if it has wings I can fly it. This doesn’t and there is no way I’d climb on that thing. I know how a wing performs, that thing, not so much….

[Bigbrown]

What it really needs is a static lines attached to that gas tank, to the driver for a quick deploy parachute in the event of an engine failure. one engine quitting on that thing would be devastated.

[moovova]

If the head-on collision doesn’t kill you...the drop from altitude will.

[Chode]

a chute sure, but i wouldn’t want to be attached to it if it was going down...

[Chode]

other than engine management, it should be able to use mil-std flight control... yes?

[Red Badger]

I would think so, why reinvent the wheel.

if it was good enough for Igor Sikorsky it’s good enough for me...............

A Flying Motorcycle?

Now THAT’S something I would like to have! :-)
