According to CCTV Finance, the Detroit Auto Show in the United States is currently underway, and the world's first flying suspension bicycle, developed by a Japanese start-up, debuted. It is understood that the car can fly for 40 minutes and the speed can reach 100 kilometers per hour.

The "flying motorcycle" weighs about 300 kilograms, is powered by a conventional internal combustion engine, flies on two main propellers, and can avoid obstacles thanks to sensing technology similar to drones.

The flying bike is already available in Japan, and a smaller version will be sold in the U.S. with a pre-sale price of about $777,000.

However, due to policy restrictions, this "flying motorcycle" is currently unavailable on the road. The company hopes that it can be used in rescue work in extreme conditions such as deserts and water.

In fact, many companies around the world are already working on developing such products. For example, Jetpack Aviation (JPA), which is famous for manufacturing vertical manned propellers, has released a jet-driven flying motorcycle, the Recreational Speede.

After the fuel and speed limits were lifted, its top speed even exceeded 241km/h, the maximum air time was 30 minutes, and the actual ceiling could reach 4572m, but it has not yet been officially launched.
