Was watching the Nightly News this evening when they showed this little gem..............
Seems that the technology to finally allow hoverbikes (yeah, sort of like the ones from Star Wars) is here. And, not only that, but the police department in Dubai plans to have officers patrolling on them by 2020.
On the news, they said that you can get one for around 170,000 dollars, and while currently there are no regulations on them (yet), the FAA is saying that they should fall under experimental aircraft. They can get up to 40 mph, and can fly for around 30 min.
Hoverbikes may soon patrol streets of Dubai as police test flying motorbikes
