Starting in 2014, Malloy Aeronautics has been developing a hoverbike that has experimented with quadcopter-like lift. In 2015, the company announced collaboration with the United States Defense Department at the Paris Airshow.

In April 2016, British inventor Colin Furze announced he had created a hoverbike using two paramotors.

The Aero-X is a hoverbike set for commercial sale in 2017. It is designed to carry up to two people.
