Korean researchers have developed a core technology for high-performance hoverbikes, which is attracting attention as a next-generation means of transportation.

A joint research team from KAIST, Hanyang University, and Dong-A University said it has secured major technologies such as a hybrid propulsion system, high-reliability precision navigation, and flight control system for hoverbikes, a flying motorcycle.

The research team explained that the stable operation of hoverbikes is possible in complex environments by implementing multi-sensor fusion technology to enable stable flight even in environments where there is no GPS or the signal is weak.

It also said that the autonomous flight system allows automatic landing at the take-off and landing site with high accuracy, adding that it is expected to be used in various fields such as munitions transportation.

The developed hoverbike will be unveiled for the first time at the "2025 Drone Show Korea" in BEXCO, Busan, at the end of February next year.
