Israeli engine room firm Urban Aeronautics has released footage of the AirMule ( their flying sports fan - car ) in action . It ’s not quite airworthy yet , but all of you trendy first adopters are undoubtedly building teflon - and - house of cards - wrap - draw flight suits to cruise crash around your neighborhood .
Even though it ’s actually a drone and the designer atUrban Aeronauticsstill have to work out some kink with its steering and constancy , they project toattach robotic armsto the AirMule , perhaps in a tacit effort to emulate the Man of Steel’sSupermobile :
[ A ] planned variant of AirMule [ will ] be fit with remotely operated automatonlike arms . The trigger for this are late approach by operators of helicopters used for great power railway line maintenance oeuvre , by agency responsible for the safety of nuclear reactors and utility program company looking for inspection of very large structures , all asking whether AirMule could furnish a solution for hovering for an extended menstruation of time next to a structure that require inspection or sustentation , and in reality perform such operations using remotely controlled manipulator arms . Examples could include supersede damaged insulators on power lines , pump heavy water into pools cover uranium rods inside damaged nuclear reactors , fixing leaking tube or repairing area under bridges or marine structures that have suffered corrosion impairment .

Still , those of you who wish to pull an Elroy Jetson you should invest in some heavy - tariff , Troy James Hurtubise - O.K. drive suits . Danger Roomis compare this to Luke Skywalker ’s landspeeder — I ’m getting more of a StarFox stage boss vibe .
