AERO-X Hoverbike | The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation

In this segment from "The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation" you'll learn more about the Aero-X hoverbike. The Aero-X was created by a Los Angeles based aerospace engineering company called Aerofex.
The Aero-X is a surface-effect craft that rides like a motorcycle. Because it responds to your movements just as a motorcycle would, the Aero-X is intuitive to fly.
The Aero-X can be adapted for a variety of uses: surveying, search and rescue, border patrol, disaster relief, agricultural, ranching, and rural transportation.

I could see this being used for hunting, recreational hiking and park rangers. It's a great idea

[@angargoy7181]

It is a very well designed prototype in the video it looks like it flies and is stable. My congratulations.

[@BriShep123]

It's 2021, where are the production models?

[@skiclad9539]

It's 2018 , Still Waiting...

TheTruthIsGonnaHurt that was i thinking too this project is stolen from colin fuse

[@Nekromorphable]

Furze* but yeah..

[@javieneedlez]

It’s now 2021, still waiting!!!!!!!!

[@keithmallory9932]

Can you make the flyover sound like a hummingbird, or better yet a butterfly. Your ideas are incredible, throughout my life I have been thinking of antigravity. Thank you fir reazing your dreams and the human potential.

[@ashokmujmule]

Very Good experiment

[@simonaarekol3336]

What’s missing is complete control of something that’s hovering. Right now it goes up, down and sideways. But it doesn’t turn very well. What i see in my head is kind of how a tank turns, or how you turn your canoe with your mate. One rows forward, the other rows backwards on the other side

[@jasonrohan7471]

How long before I can order one? Oooo the craving is overwhelming. 😆

[@xenoboss8487]

My back started hurting looking at him on top

[@brockking2014]

It’s a cool idea but the thing is huge and I didn’t hear them mention the speed it can achieve.... It looks slow as molasses. The military hovercraft are pretty cool but they’re also very slow, I can’t imagine this being much better.

[@AM-zc9mq]

What about Colin Furze?

[@ProtoPerson]

Colin Furze did a better job with way less parts. This is just a disappointment.

[@calebsherman886]

Alex Horner : Not true, colin furze's has no form of control other than balance, this has actual yaw and pitch control.

[@Karirawri]

@@calebsherman886 his hoverbike actually got finished though

Beautiful toy congrats

[@miriyamm6374]

and in 2020 i still dont see any new videos 'bout it.. gwads.. now i need to play SWtor..

[@qturn4726]

Its really cool bike...... I love it

[@boxlessthinking]

I've been wanting to build one of these ever since I seen it on beyond 2000 in like 1994. but I much prefer the single Fan system . although they made one with rockets that went 10,000 feet in the air and like over 100 or 200 mph. the people the design that thought it would be an awesome recreational situation but they put the patents on ice. After the military decided not to use it

[@gj9157]

It's 2k17, where is my hover bike? Don't pull a back to the future on me!

[@augustsmith9553]

Turns out the future is now jackweed

[@ngcreations6552]

How dose it works

[@lilbigmike8945]

Is this out yet?

[@junztermax4387]

Imagin dropping your phone on the propeller 😂

[@smialekpawel94]

LOL. What you are calling YAW is called ROLL...

[@MisterKaen]

pawel smialek Yaw Meen!!!!

[@lordcrafty7578]

the video was just a bit confusing, he did mean Yaw though.

[@williammatthews1609]

You're right, I just looked up YAW and what he described was in fact ROLL. YAW is the Left to Right turn.

[@powersurge91]

Yet he actually did mean yaw, The roll is controlled by leaning left and right, the yaw is controlled via the 2 vanes above each of the rotor assemblies. When he said yaw he actually meant Rotation on the X plane relative to the frame.

[@Metacore91]

Ohai there Surge

[@tothehilt]

no wonder i lose so many aircraft's! I've rolling when i should have yawing!

[@GamesforCykits]

Dude didn't know this existed and it's now 2018....... can I fly and buy this?

[@nickoutram6939]

I've never understood why the person is above the plane of the motors on these hover machines, that's far far less stable...

[@acrow6785]

it's all for the feeling of "bike" and not helicopter

[@agrisphoenix7582]

Nick Outram speed over stability. It doesn’t need to be fast.

[@bLedq]

Say it again! "The pitch and the yaw", "YAAAW".

[@adurpina]

amazing video!

[@samanand7719]

amazing

[@piperman2010]

1:08 your motion isn't yaw...that was roll.

[@paulmingie3245]

bless his heart he thought he thought he knew what he was talking about..if your gonna be the H.N.I.C you should research what yaw means.. what roll means, what pitch means,,, what the name of the vehicle is....js

[@superduper2024]

Reminds me a Chapter of SOUTHPARK !!!!

[@lambert5855]

Well it's May 2018 how's the project sitting at the moment if at all

[@bryanm1802]

Narrator: “just don’t call it a hover bike” Man: “ it’s technically not a hover bike” But in the title it’s called a hover bike

[@blvdd2116]

Is it out yet?

[@theletterh8176]

COLLIN FURZE DID IT

[@darkshadowsx5949]

his barely worked he said so himself. he had to lose a few pounds and skip breakfast just to hover a little bit.

[@slice9105]

yeah but it was his(Colin Furze's) design... now idk which one got it first but since this guy doesn't know the proper defs of pitch and yaw, i highly doubt he came up with this.

[@pobieda894]

2018 where can I buy this bike?

[@vodifitrardi6324]

Knock Knock... guess what?! It's 2018 knocking on AeroX door. Is it on sale yet? LOL

[@BharathwajK]

15 foot max altitude is something very low ,you can maximum have the altitude up to 100 feet or 25 meters altitude

[@kaydnburns5935]

Definately roll and pitch. The combination of the two can create yaw

[@OldManHugh1]

Its 2018. Wherw can i get it

[@Niom_Music]

They need to add some cool sounds and LED lights to this thing! :)

[@shashibhuhsanbehera3700]

post a vedio of riding the aero x hover bike

[@CV_CA]

3:25 We are in 2017 where is it? Another think look like it can fly in a flat desert, what about other place?

[@Itsmeeman1]

If, and I do mean 'IF', they get this up and running, the most likely targets would be Recreation(for spoilt little rich kids) and the Police. The car industry has far too much invested in roads to allow this to be anything near commercial for commuters.

[@racerx5379]

Itsmeeman1 All the roads can be sold for realestate

[@dedalliance1]

This would still most likely be used over roads of some type, seeing as how it only goes 5-15 feet in the air.

[@jeremywhittler8591]

They could make this concept work. It could fly around like a hoverbike. It just needs alot of power density and engine reliability. Manual control of the flight surfaces would be out of the question. Composite's and advanced electronics could make it fly like a video game.

[@sistercalhoun4444]

How much does it cost?

[@averagecommenter4623]

Company: not coming till 2017 Me: it’s 2018 where dis at?

[@FoxNation18]

Okayyyy it just over half of 2019..... *WHERES MY AERO X???*

[@j-no4205]

2018? where is it?

[@oberdanaguiar7911]

2018, where can we get it ?

[@gingkobilobae]

can i buy one

[@kirkwoodyoung6035]

Okay it's 2018 where is the first production model?

[@kakavdedatakavunuk8516]

Piasecki did it decades ago (Air Jeep), and it was unsuccessful. You have some new idea?

[@blazing64]

That was roll buddy , not yaw

[@davegage1249]

That doesn't give me much confidence in riding one of these... Me:"What does this lever do?" Ford:"Idk, yaw or roll or something. What's the difference?" Me:"K bye!"

[@blazing64]

hahah I'm sure it's ok, he just a spokesman... maybe

[@tikitime]

think that was from the editor of the video or producer

[@toddy2519]

I agree, although yaw will put an aircraft in a roll-like position, that certainly was a roll using ailerons!

[@pappaclutch3266]

I was thinking the same damn thing 😉

[@ToFester]

We are in 2017

[@TheGiselleBella]

Cool how original a hover bike

[@MrAsianAirsofter]

Colin Furze Beag ya to it lads

[@ElieM1]

this guy loves saying PITCH and YAW

[@liefbrunhilda926]

Elie M and couldn’t be more wrong about what yaw is 😂

[@jimsox3501]

"yaw" example shows a plane rolling lol

[@natebigg802]

where is it in 2020

[@d-e-a8209]

Its 2018 where is my hover bike???

[@KutWrite]

At about 2:00, reporter confuses "yaw" with "roll."

[@Molop87]

It's a landspeeder is what it is

[@hoeky442]

The only real difference between this and a regular hovercraft is that it doesn't have the skirt around it and is therefore a WAY less efficient!

[@bradyrc818]

It’s 2018 and I’m waiting

[@troutsenju7184]

How much

But you have to stand up all the time you fly it. Add a lean on seat.

It needs to be able to float for search and rescue. I'd trademark that shit

[@Trdfurguson12]

That's a funky yaw lol

[@atomipi]

Nothing new here though - Colin Furze made exactly this awhile back.. at home in his garage! check it out on youtube :)

[@spoileralert9929]

Mmm tiene un buen diseño

[@glen58316]

Fyi Electromagnetic propulsion powered by zero point energy generation is true hover technology.

2021... Maybe...

[@blackmidimin6720]

It’s 2018 where the bike at

[@Malike420]

Just what I was thinking...it was supposed to be out by 2017..it's probably only in the rich mans garage

[@Holy_Ninja7]

Wow
