Watch This Jet Bike Fly! Volonaut Airbike Test Footage

You have probably seen sci-fi movies with flying bikes zipping over futuristic cities, right? Well, the Volonaut Airbike just brought that dream closer to reality. After months of speculation, the Volonaut team finally dropped new flight footage, and this time, there is no doubt—it is real, loud, and completely functional.

The Airbike uses jet propulsion instead of propellers or wings, giving it a unique form of vertical lift that looks more like something out of a Marvel movie. It is built mostly from carbon fiber and 3D-printed parts, weighing just 30 kilograms. That is about seven times lighter than a regular motorcycle. This makes it maneuverable, agile, and suitable for low-altitude rides that look both wild and cinematic.

One of the most striking things about the Airbike is its control system. It uses dual joysticks, letting the rider steer in any direction. There is also an autonomous takeoff and landing system, and the onboard computer helps with stabilization. Watching the latest video, it is hard not to be impressed as the machine hovers over a mountain ridge, holding its position with insane precision.

Flight time is limited to about 10 minutes, which may not sound like much, but it is enough to experience the thrill. Speed-wise, the production model is capped at 102 kilometers per hour to comply with ultralight aircraft regulations, although the prototype can apparently hit up to 200 kilometers per hour.

This is not just a prototype floating around with no plans. Volonaut confirmed that limited production is scheduled, with pre-orders opening on August 1. The price? A steep $880,000. Yes, it is pricey, but that is expected for first-generation personal flight technology, especially one this radical.

What makes the Airbike stand out is not just the cool design or the engineering behind it—it is the sheer boldness of doing something no one thought was practical. The fact that it uses jet propulsion in such a compact form is groundbreaking. It skips the complexity of multiple propeller arms like drones or electric vertical takeoff aircraft and instead chooses a system that looks and sounds like pure sci-fi.

If you ever wanted to feel like Iron Man flying above the treetops, this is probably the closest you will get—for now. Do not forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell so you can catch more updates as this wild machine heads toward reality.
