I’ve written several times on various aircraft that have caught my attention. Each time, I say it’s my favorite aircraft of all time. The ICON 100 – A5 Limited may not be my favorite but it is still unique and worthy enough to briefly write about.

Besides its sexy and sleek design, the recreational aircraft stands out because it is capable of taking off and landing on both land and water. ICON first introduced the aircraft back in 2008 and was to be in production mode later that year. However, various modifications set the launch back by several years and it is now finally ready to be produced next year (2012).

The Hoverbike – Helicopter and Motorcycle Hybrid

At Unfinished Man, we love things that fly and have featured a number of different aircraft including the very cool, flying hovercraft. And now, we would like to introduce you guys to the Hoverbike. I almost busted a nut when I saw pictures of this …this thing. The hoverbike is the creation of Chris Mallony and is still in development stages with one prototype being used for testing.

Mallony envisions using this helicopter/motorcycle hybrid for Search & Rescue, Aerial Surveys, Films, Military & Emergency services, and my favorite, Aerial Cattle Mustering. The hoverbike’s theoretical hovering altitude is 10,000ft while the airspeed is 173mph (150 KIAS).

How We’ll Drive In The Future

Concept Flying Car

Back in the 1960’s, we were promised flying cars by Hollywood (mainly the Jetsons), in the near future.  Well, we’re in the second decade of the 21st century and we have yet to take off.  Sure, there have been some concept flying cars but nothing that looks cool or can be produced, until now.

The concept flying car by students from the Department of Industrial Design at the School of Mechanical Automotive Engineering is designed by Pan Jiazhi, Zhu Wenxi, and Lai Zexin.  These students won first place at the First International Concept Car Design Contest, which is sponsored by FOTON motor company.
