(Web Desk) - California startup Jetpack Aviation (JPA) has designed a world’s first flying motorcycle by the name of ‘The Speeder’.
It is worth a whopping $3,80,000 which is equal to PKR 50 million.
‘The Speeder’s’ four turbojet engines allow the craft to fly in excess of 241 kilometers per hour (150 mph) for up to 22 minutes, depending on the altitude and the weight of the pilot, which can go up to 250 pounds.
The flying motorcycle is powered by either kerosene, JetA, or diesel, and it can reach a height of 15,000 feet. But as JPA notes on its website, a pilot would need to supply their own oxygen at that altitude.
‘The Speeder’ can be called Vertical Take Off Landing (VTOL) vehicle which do not need take off for flight.
The company is currently taking orders of the ‘The Speeder’ with a free flight suit and helmet with every purchase.
The company plans to produce just 20 recreational models of the Speeder at first. But it’s also working on a military/commercial version it says will have a fifth turbojet engine and the ability to fly with no pilot.
