The company that makes AK-47s just built a working hoverbike

The Russian company that makes the iconic AK-47 machine gun is branching out into

rideables — specifically flying rideables. (Is that a thing?) Kalashnikov Concern — part of the Russian defense giant Rostec, which is named after AK-47 designer Mikhail Kalashnikov — demonstrated its unnamed prototype on Monday, according to Popular Mechanics. It looks similar to a handful of drone-quadcopter-hoverbike hybrids that we’ve seen popping up around the internet with increasing frequency. Kalashnikov is calling it a “flying car,” but that seems more aspirational than accurate. Without a wheel-base, it’s a hard to see how anyone could mistake this thing for a car. Of course, that hasn’t stopped a variety of companies from mislabeling their prototypes as flying cars.                                                                                                                                  https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/27/16374000/kalashnikov-hoverbike-drone-multicopter-flying-car
