The Hoversurf exactly is a blend of a motorcycle and drones. It will be used to the police patrol duty with a human pilot or remotely. Hoversurf suitable used for patrols in various terrains, such as hilly and rocky terrains including deserts and beaches as well.
Hoversurf is equipped with 4 propellers in each corner, allowing to fly as high as 5 meters above the surface if directly drive by one man. But if flown by remotely control like a drone, the Hoversurf can drift up to a height of 6,000 meters.
