Polish inventor Tomasz Patan has introduced the Volonaut Airbike, a compact flying vehicle that closely resembles the iconic speeder bikes from Star Wars. Recently revealed after operating in stealth mode, the Airbike is designed as a single-rider aircraft capable of reaching speeds up to 200 km/h (124 mph). Its design stands out due to the absence of exposed propellers, instead relying on jet propulsion to achieve lift and forward motion. This gives it a sleeker and more futuristic appearance compared to many existing eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) concepts.

A key feature of the Airbike is its proprietary stabilization system, which is supported by a flight computer that enables automatic hovering and simplifies control for the rider. The riding position offers an unobstructed 360-degree field of view, enhancing both situational awareness and the immersive sensation of flight. According to Volonaut, the goal is to create a “superbike for the skies” that feels intuitive
