The super sky cycle is a truly unique flying machine. Basically, it looks like a mad professor's motorcycle. It has two rotors, one on top and one behind and a bicycle front end.
The unique thing about it is that its upper propeller isn't motorized. It is used passively to create lift.
Invented and patented (US Patent No. 6,978,969) by flight enthusiast Larry Neal, the Super Sky Cycle has all the advantages you'd want from a personal flying device without the disadvantages. Plus, it doubles as a 300 miles range motorcycle when its upper propeller is folded.
The Super Sky Cycle is very safe. In fact, it will float down slower than a parachute with the engine turned off at any altitude and land in a very small spot with the pilot in complete control.
Taking off and landing requires a short improvised runway and the pilot is kept very safe thanks to the G-Force Landing Gear, also invented by Larry. This unique long stroke shock mounted parallelogram landing gear is a break through in gyroplane safety.
