La Moto Volante (Lazareth LMV 496) - flying transformer motorcycle

    They wrote about this device a few months ago on Habré, but then it was expected that technically the prototype of a flying motorcycle would be arranged somewhat differently.

    It was assumed that the prototype of a flying motorcycle will be presented at the end of January 2019, it will have a Maserati engine to move on roads, and four will lift it into the air Jetcat turbines.

    However, it turned out like in a joke about winning Rabinovich’s cards - a video with flight tests of the prototype appeared only in mid-March, the Maserati engine will not be on the motorcycle (two electric motors are installed instead), and turbines so far not four (one mounted on the hub of each wheel), but six (two additional ones added under the pedals).

    The mass of the prototype is 140 kg, the turbines develop a thrust of 240 kg, while it is not indicated how many turbines give such thrust - 4 or 6 ... How much kerosene will the aircraft take on board, how high will it rise, what speed will it fly and how far away - we are not informed.

    No more figures have been published yet, except for the price at which they plan to start selling it at the exhibition in Dubai at the Gitex-2019 in October - 495,000 euros.

    About six months before the exhibition, we hope that the Lazareth development team will publish other videos with a flying motorcycle flying in the air in the coming months, as well as technical details of the project.
