It's nearly 2015 and it doesn't look like we'll be getting the hoverboards promised in Back to the Future II. However, a hoverbike, made by Aerofex and dubbed the Aero X, will be available to own beginning in 2017.
The decidedly cool looking device is the conclusion of 15 years of research and development in the field of low-altitude flight. Devices have been manufactured in the past to try to achieve the dream of relatively affordable hovering, but have been plagued with problems.
In an interview with Discovery News, founder Mark De Roche, an aerospace engineer and founder of Aerofex, explains that these devices in the past have suffered from the "coupling effect" and that Aerofex has worked hard to overcome this problem.
