A Real-Life Hovercraft!

December 22, 2015

What we love best about sci-fi movies is how they free the imagination and we’ve never seen a more Star Wars inspired invention than this one. Check out this amazing real-life hovercraft in action. The video looks like something Han Solo does every day only it’s happening in real-life, right now! Aerofex has developed a hovercraft that uses two ducted fans to keep the vehicle aloft. The rider controls the direction of the craft by leaning forward or side to side depending on where he wants to go. According to Aerofex, the feeling is like riding a motorcycle, or at least a motorcycle that doesn’t touch ground. Check out their amazing test drive video at cnet.com. And, if you’re looking to bring more Star Wars to life, cnet.com also offers a quick how-to for making your own X-Wing helmet.
