In recent years, there has been an explosion in the development of vehicles that allow for fast and convenient mobility. Electric scooters, however, are becoming an obsolete means compared to the project that Tomasz Patan has realised. The Volonaut Airbike is a flying motorbike that can reach speeds of 200 km/h.
The Volonaut Airbike surprises with its ultralight yet robust design based on advanced carbon fibre materials, which significantly contributes to its performance and flying capabilities. The manufacturing process also uses 3D printing technology to minimise unnecessary components and give the whole thing an extremely streamlined, futuristic look. Such a minimalist design not only ensures an aesthetically pleasing form, but above all influences weight reduction, which is crucial for the vehicle’s performance.
Flight mechanism
The Volonaut Airbike’s propulsion system is based on jet technology, which enables it to soar dynamically through the air and reach speeds of up to 200 km/h. A key element of the vehicle is also the advanced stabilisation system, integrated into the flight control computer. This enables the pilot to easily maintain balance during hovering. Importantly, the vehicle’s structure has been designed in such a way that it does not surround the pilot with a rigid frame – this enables a 360-degree unobstructed view, which in turn adds an even more exciting dimension to flying.
Unique design
A distinctive feature of the Volonaut Airbike is its open design, in which the pilot sits in a slightly forward leaning position, which promotes an aerodynamic profile and ensures full contact with the environment. The lack of a traditional cowl not only allows for a pristine view, but also enhances the riding experience, making every journey a true experience. In addition, there are red warning lights on the rear section of the vehicle, which activate when slowing down, acting as communication with other flying vehicles in the vicinity. Subtly designed sculpted supports, located on the sides, meanwhile, ensure gentle and safe landings, minimising the risk of structural damage during take-offs and landings.
Tomasz Patan personally demonstrated the Volonaut Airbike’s capabilities during a dynamic flight through a valley and around a forest. The tests showed that, thanks to its compact size and advanced engineering, the vehicle also performs well in more difficult, confined spaces – which could find application in crowded urban areas or hard-to-reach terrains. Although the commercial availability of the Volonaut Airbike has not yet been announced, futuristic technology enthusiasts and potential customers can already see great potential in it, which could revolutionise the way we view mobility .
Futuristic inspiration
The Volonaut Airbike is not just another flying vehicle – it is a manifesto of modern design thinking, where advanced technology meets minimalist design. The Polish innovation, represented by Tomasz Patan, shows that the boundaries between a traditional motorbike and a futuristic hoverbike can be crossed, opening up completely new horizons of mobility.
