Lazareth’s La Moto Volante LMV 496 flying motorcycle may be near ready for production, but it’ll have some competition from the Zapata Jetracer. Inventor Franky Zapata’s latest creation is essentially a person vertical take off and landing aircraft that can hit a top speed of 155mph and reach a maximum altitude of 9,842-feet, all the while carrying one passenger (up to 440-pounds).
No, you won’t find any electric motors on the Zapata Jetracer, just 10 jet engines that provide both power and speed. The aircraft itself is built atop a light and modular chassis, allowing it to meet multiple needs. In other words, it can be used by commercial, civil, military, and be remotely controlled. All of its critical systems are designed in a way to provide an extremely high level of redundancy and safety. There’s no word yet on pricing or availability.
