World’s first ‘flying bike’ hits market for $500K

Not so long ago in an online galaxy not so far way.
A new mode of transport being hyped as the “world’s first flying bike” has officially been released in Japan — with a nearly $555,000 online price tag, according to the company’s site.
The 12-feet-long XTURISMO “luxury air cruiser” — inspired by the “Star Wars” universe — was developed by the aircraft company AERWINS.
The 661-pound vehicle, a finalist in the 2023 Edison Awards, is designed to draw power from two large central rotors running on a 228-horsepower, gas-fueled Kawasaki motor.
Additional oomph comes from an electrical battery that powers four fans on the vehicle’s outer edges that provide stability to the ride.
The bike — hyped as “a manifestation of the dream of air mobility” — can reportedly hit speeds ranging from 50 to 62 miles per hour.

How many propulsion units can croak before you’re croaked?

Also, what's the distance/pound. Will it support the beast with two backs? Asking for a friend.

"Some say that he appears on high value stamps in Sweden, and that he can catch fish with his tongue. All we know is he’s called the Stig"

High price tag for a widowmaker.
