Cops in Dubai Are Getting Real, Very Dangerous
Looking Hoverbikes:
"Police in Dubai may soon have access to functional hoverbikes, according to AutoBlog,
which reported that Dubai Police had unveiled the new technology in conjunction with
Russian company Hoversurf at the Gulf Information Technology Exposition last week.
Per Autoblog, the Scorpion hoverbike is capable of flying approximately 16 feet (five
meters) in the air, moving at a speed of 43 miles per hour (70 kilometers per hour) and
carrying 660 pounds (300 kilograms) of gear. It’s thus capable of clearing traffic-packed
roads, but one serious drawback is the unit’s limited, 25 minute charge capacity. The
Scorpion’s rotor blades also look ready to chop through anything it might bump into, like
humans, and sort of looks like it is as dangerous for the operator to fly as for anyone
who might wander into its path."
