The Malloy Hoverbike is a single seater turbo-fan powered quadrocopter that developed by Australian inventor Chris Malloy and has been contracted by an American engineering firm to produce such bikes for the United States Department of Defense. By the use of turbofans, it gives it's user the ability to hover in the air like a helicopter in the manner of riding a motorbike.

The Malloy Hoverbike has been compared to the speeder bikes seen in George Lucas's popular science fiction saga Star Wars although the input functions of the hoverbikes seen in Star Wars are significantly distinct from the input functions of the Malloy Hoverbike.

With the production of the Malloy Hoverbike, Chris Malloy set up his aeronautical firm Malloy Aeronautics responsible for the production of the hoverbike. The hoverbike participated in the 2015 Paris Airshow.
