Spider: A flying motorcycle Bike that takes to the heights of the air
Name of this flying motorcycle Bike is Speeder which is powered by four small jet engines
At about 12 years old David Mayman tried to make a helicopter out of an old fence & an old lawn mower. Make flying Motorcycle Bike
Needless to say, the effort was not very successful. Their machine could not fly ( Motorcycle) & they had to repair the garden fence.

Iwas raised in a way that I think science has become like a challenge for me. Ilive always been told that nothing is impossible.
In his childhood in Sydney Australia he tried to do things bigger than his age. Growing up David Mayman built state of art machines that could really fly.
After selling his online business he built a jet pack which he flew around the Statue of Liberty in New York.

But since 2018 he has been working on a different project which he believes will give him more business opportunities.
Their new machine called the Spider is a flying motorcycle. It will rise vertically in the air & then fly very fast. This machine will be large enough to fit in a pickup truck.
Spider is 1of many flying machine projects being worked on
Hundreds of such flying machines are under construction called EVTe Electric Vehicle Take Off and Landing. Engineers hope that the era of cheap & low noise air transport will soon begin.
However David Maymans machine is very different from these aircraft. Instead of batteries and electric engine Mayman Speeder is powered by 4 smaller engines which are powered by aviation fuel.
This is a step backwards in terms of innovation and technology but Maymans thinks that only liquid fuel will attract consumers.
He says the military emergency services & oil & gas extraction industry at sea want an aircraft that is small & can carry a lotof weight. For this you need fuel used in aircraft which provides 20 times more power to carry a certain weight than batteries. It will take a lot of weight & big batteries to carry that much weight.
David Mayman explains that if you want to carry a certain weight and you want a specific range & speed for the aircraft in which it is to be carried this can only be done with current technology ie turbines. Only through the engine.
The idea for Spider came to Mayman while working with United States Navy. The Navy was interested in acquiring jet packs for its special forces ie sales.
The situation was similar in aviation industry. You start-working on a machine with a special feature & soon a machine with a completely different feature comes into play.
David Mayman stated that he initially wanted an airplane that could carry a weight of 95 kg but was working on a project that would allow him to carry a 135 kg machine. He also wanted someone to be trained for job in 10 minutes.
This could-not have happened with current jet pack. It needed a machine that was big and easy to fly. Thats how the Spider Project came into being. Some of the jet pack technology worked for this but most had to be done from scratch.
The direction of flight in jet pack has tobe controlled by the pilot on a regular basis while in the spider it is done by electronic flight control system.
Mayman said the owner of the spider would not need a license because the spiders flight control system works most of the time during the flight.

The spider is effectively an artificial intelligence machine that knows when and what work is needed. It controls the engines as needed.
David Mayman hopes the spider will be used to transport equipment. He believes that various agencies will show interest in Spider, especially the demand for Spider from the Armed Forces and Emergency Services.
The speed of the spider is 200 miles per hour while it can fly up to 60 minutes. Maymann says it can deliver essential supplies to the military & emergency services quickly & to the desired location.
In addition Cargo Mode when operated by remote control can travel at speeds of up to 500 miles per hour and weigh up to 450 kg.
David Mayman thinks that because it is a small and complete machine it can travel in all weathers and is more efficient than a helicopter.
David May will be the first to fly his own flying motorcycle called the Man Spider
But if youre more excited and happy that you re going to sit on it and fly over buses cars and traffic Mayman says it is less likely to be used in cities.
It is very noisy, it's very powerful & very small. I do not think there is a need for an aircraft in urban areas that is about the size of your dining table.
This flying bike needs to be thoroughly tested before being delivered to consumers.
If all goes according to plan this flying motorcycle bike called the Spider will be available to the general public by 2024 or 2025 while the Army may get it earlier.
