The Aero-X hoverbike is an aircraft created by Aerofex, an aerospace engineering corporation based in Los Angeles, designed to carry up to two people.
[2] The Aero-X does not fly with the same energy efficiency as a helicopter, due to its rotor blades being shorter, but it is much smaller in size and safer near humans.
[3] This craft does not produce the brownout of helicopters, as it is designed to be able to operate near people without blowing any significant amount of dust.
To achieve this, Aerofex added two control bars which the rider can access at knee level and easily lean to one side or the other to balance the craft.
[1] The planned usages include agricultural field work, delivering materials in rough terrain, and for search and rescue vehicles.
