The first person to invent a fully function floating hoverbike wasn’t Lockheed Martin or Oshkosh, but Youtuber and inventor Colin Furze.

With some donated supplies courtesy of Ford, Furze spent three months crafting a bike powered by motorized propellers instead of wheels. The contraption doesn’t have a seat or any brakes, but hey, it floats!

Furze described the process of getting the hoverbike up in the air to Mashable: 

“[The project’s] been going on over the past three months, but maybe only four to five weeks have been spent on it as I spent a lot of time waiting for parts like the propellers,” Furze told Mashable.

After landing on the hoverbike’s final design iteration — reached mostly by chopping bits off — Furze said it took four flying sessions to really get the hang of flying it.

“It’s all on getting the engines running the same speed and how you position yourself,” he said.

This invention is Furze’s first ever attempt to build something that can fly. Watch the clip below and share with us how well you think he did.
