LOOP News![]() 1 JAN 07: SCOOT THROUGH THE AIRThe 'AirScooter' and is in the final phase of testing with a new 'AeroTwin' engine and is expected to be available in 2007. President of AirScooter Corporation Dwaine Barnes said, "Traditional recreational vehicles like ATVs and jet-skis are fun, but limited in use. The AirScooter will provide a simple way for man to achieve the excitement and versatility of flight for recreational and professional use that's beyond any other product on the market." The AirScooter is controlled by a simple set of motorcycle-style handlebars with a throttle grip to control the 65hp engine. The absence of pedal controls means that people without the use of their legs can fly too. The company recommends the Air Scooter is flown at a height of 50 feet, A five-gallon fuel tank permits two hours of flight at a speed of 55kt and flotation pads mean it can land on water. The AirScooter will come fully assembled apart from the rotor blades. W: www.airscooter.com | |||||||
