Star Wars fans and flight aficionados at Bay Zoltan Nonprofit Ltd have developed a fully electric personal flight device that resembles the Imperial speeder bike in the films.

Makers of the tricopter prototype, Dubbed as 'Flike' recently conducted series of manned test flights for the first time.

In the first test itself Flike took-off weight of 210 kg (463lb) and only made it off the ground for a few seconds.

As per reports in Gizmag, in the second test flight the manned vehicle flew several meters off the ground for almost 30 seconds, hovering and compensating for wind.

The prototype was created in a year by Bay Zoltan Non-profit, a state-owned applied research institute in Hungary.

Makers of the tricopter stated that 'Flike' is a revolutionary, all-electric personal flight device under development in Hungary.

"For the techies: it is a coaxial, Y6-layout tricopter, which means that the lift is generated by six rotors, grouped in counter-rotating pairs of three axes, equally located around a circle", they said.

Due to its layout Flike can easily be flown by adjusting the rotation speed of individual rotors.

The firm said that its airborne behavior is similar to a helicopter. For instance, it can hover, roll, bank, drift, spin, yaw, climb, turn and dive.

It has been told that an onboard computer automatically manages the craft's stability, position and altitude.

The team also said that it has some other different flight capabilities that are yet to be named.

They told that the electr4ic motors of the tricopter are powered by lithium polymer batteries, which allows hover flight for about 15 to 20 minutes or 30 to 40 minutes of cruise flight.
