The incident occurred during the next test flight due to technical problems.
The founder and CEO of HoverSurf, Alexander Atamanov, spoke about the incident, who explained that the crash of the flying Scorpion-3 motorcycle occurred due to a technical breakdown. At the same time, the pilot who controlled the hoverbike at that moment was not injured.
“Scorpion-3 Hoverbike Crash!” Refused barometer in Dubai. Thanks to automation and passive safety systems, the pilot survived. Sic itur ad astra - such is the path to the stars,” commented Alexander Atamanov on the fall of a flying motorcycle on his Facebook page.
Since 2018, HoverSurf has been collaborating with the Dubai police to train law enforcement officers on how to use hoverbikes. It is expected that in 2020, the first police officers will use flying motorcycles in daily operation and hoverbikes will replenish the park of unusual police equipment in Dubai, which already includes various supercars.
