It's a concept, not a working model, and not liklely to ever get off the ground in a useful way... a hoverbike

My guess is that it's never going to work and that the inventor-dreamer has realized that, and finally decided that he could go public, because it's better to have a little publicity for a near miss, than no publicity for a wipeout no one ever hears about
