8 UNUSUAL AND UNIQUE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT

[Music] samson sky switchblade thirteen years ago a group of american engineers wondered how to make aviation more accessible and useful to ordinary people the answer was obvious flying cars they founded the company's samson's sky and last year they presented switchblade the world's first fully fledged flying car but its story spreads over many many years switchblade's first flight was scheduled somewhere between 2009 and 2010 however it only took place in july 2012 besides it was a one-quarter scale model that went up in the air in 2014 the first parts made of carbon fiber was shown by 2016 the same material was used to build the winds the same year their folding mechanism was demonstrated too the launch of the prototype was planned for late 2018 but was postponed we're still waiting for the first flight of the working prototype to take place the idea is as follows the switchblade will be able to move both on the ground and in the air you just drive it to the nearest airfield like a regular car spread the wings and go up some specifications are already known the length in land mode is 5.1 meters and in flight mode is 6.2 meters the transformation takes only three minutes the maximum flight speed is up to 322 kilometers per hour while the driving speed is up to 201 kilometers per hour the maximum range reaches 724 kilometers the maximum payload is 247 kilograms the estimated cost of the vehicle is going to be a hundred and twenty thousand dollars you're bored personal electric vehicles are becoming more and more popular and affordable every year this is not surprising because they're very convenient and allow you to travel faster and save time we shouldn't forget however that most modern models still have significant disadvantages they're either heavy cumbersome and not too convenient or have a low speed and power reserve that is why ray reynolds from london decided to create a brand new personal electric vehicle one that would not have the listed disadvantages meet your board a fancy four wheeled scooter which takes travel to a whole new level it moves at a speed of up to 35 kilometers per hour traveling up to 32 kilometers in one go your board is stable safe capable of riding uphill at 30 degrees and doesn't mind a slight bit of off-roading the folding design facilitates storage and transportation and the price starts at eight hundred and seventy dollars [Applause] [Music] ballistics cycles bikes our next guest stars are motorcycles with an unusual and spectacular design that makes it impossible to pass by them both models on display are custom made they were handmade by the specialists of the american workshop ballistic cycles the first model is the turbo hubless chopper it's pretty simple and old compared to the other model which belongs to the renew 2020 generation it features an electric motor and a power reserve of 240 kilometers it goes from north to 100 kilometers per hour in just two and a half seconds the top speed is 200 kilometers per hour the unusual hubless 30 inch wheels are milled from a monolithic workpiece the braking system is built directly into the wheel too it's hard to believe but every detail of the motorcycles was designed individually to perfectly fit the model [Music] sb1 defiant here's a vehicle that was designed specifically for the us army the sb1 defiant is a joint project of two major world-famous companies sikorsky aircraft and boeing the model is still under development although it has already had its first test flight it took place on march the 21st 2019 but that's not all just a few months ago it became known that the helicopter managed to develop a record speed in its class flying at a speed of 205 knots or almost 380 kilometers per hour however in october a new record was set when the helicopter reached 390 kilometers per hour for comparison the uh-60 blackhawks top speed is 360 kilometers per hour so it's probably no surprise that the sp1 defiance is going to replace it you've probably already noticed the main feature of this model it's coaxial screws and the pusher rotor at the rear the sb1 defined was not designed for cargo delivery instead it's fast maneuverable and it accommodates up to 12 people in full combat uniforms [Music] akrapovic full moon even though this project didn't take 10 years to develop 800 hours of work by skilled designers and engineers are also quite a lot and yes that's how much time it took to create the motorcycle that you're seeing now on your screen full moon is the brainchild of two companies the slovenian manufacturer of exhaust systems akrapovic and the slovenian dream machine motorcycles workshop the model was named after its most remarkable detail a 30-inch wheel made of carbon and aluminium full moon is a unique motorcycle which the developers ask not to put into any categories the vehicle is powered by a 1524 cc sns knucklehead engine which was additionally improved by two akrapovic cast iron exhaust pipes [Music] the gmc hummer ev it is believed that electric vehicles are inferior to regular vehicles in power strength and other important parameters but modern manufacturers are doing everything possible to debunk this idea the hummer ev from gmc was launched this year sales are scheduled to start at the end of 2021 this is a tough looking electric suv a worthy successor of the hummer which many people know and love inside there were three hidden engines that deliver 1014 horsepower and 15 and a half thousand newton meters of torque the car also features 35 inch wheels with off-road tyres a bottom covered with steel and an air suspension together they increase the clearance by 149 millimeters giving the vehicle cross-country ability the hummer ev can easily overcome a 457 millimeter high vertical obstacle or forward up to 610 millimeters deep it takes approximately three seconds to go from north to 100 kilometers per hour loyal wingman it is hard to believe but even though this aircraft is moving there is no pilot inside it yes you are looking at the loyal wingman one of the first unmanned planes in the world it's designed to act as a teeming aircraft that is controlled by a parent aircraft it is being developed by boeing for the australian air force in october this year it made its first run at the airfield for safety the aircraft didn't accelerate more than 26 kilometers per hour but it still looked impressive the developers checked all the main systems control fuel brake as well as the engine operation string bike the last vehicle on our list is an unusual ultra modern bike the first thing that catches the eye when you look at it is the lack of a chain its experts have replaced it with their own invention a mechanism with nylon strings pressing the pedals stretches the strings they are reeled and rolled off the pulleys driving the wheel does the system have any advantages of course the bike moves more smoothly easily and quickly it makes less noise and also eliminates the need to get your hands dirty with chain oil on top of that the bike has 19 speeds and an easy shift system the range includes four models at a minimum price of eleven hundred dollars hey stop being lazy it's time to use that brain of yours welcome to brain time incredible facts from the past the present and even the future the power of nature and wild
