Japanese engineers have created a flying motorcycle with vertical take-off capability. The Xturismo is interesting in a number of ways, but it may not appeal to lovers of sustainable lifestyles.
The heavy flying motorcycle was created by the efforts of ALI Technologies. Unlike most analogs, he received an impressive power reserve - up to 40 minutes - and can reach speeds of 100 km / h. However, contrary to modern trends in environmental friendliness, the model runs on a conventional internal combustion engine.

The Xturismo will weigh 300 kg. The developers are confident that its high autonomy will allow it to be used during rescue operations, recreational flights and to study tourist routes. The flying bike will cost a hefty $ 682,000, and deliveries are expected to start in the first half of 2022.
The company is going to produce 200 devices a year. The startup has already attracted the attention of large investors who are ready to spend millions of dollars on development. Among the largest are Kyocera and Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Venture Capital.
