Tunderbird Cycle

Description

I'm currently learning Blender and this is something I whipped together. It's a single-person craft powered by some sort of turbine (hence the front intakes.) It will later have treads of some kind set into the middle groove which will provide the propulsion. The winglets provide balance and downward thrust -thus grip (just like nascars have today.)

I still have yet to apply materials, detail the front control panels, add handlebars, adjust the exhaust system for better leg placement etc.

I got the idea from those cool uni-wheel motorcycles that have popped up every now and then (See [link] for what I'm talking about) . However, where they were all American style bike/chopper where you sit back, I wanted a more Japanese/Asian crotch rocket style. So, I took the wheel and stretched it into an oval, then just souped up the engine a bit ;) .

Ah, you are quite perceptive! Yes, indeed it would, BUT the driver doesn't have to see directly ahead because a semi-panoramic HUD is rendered inside the visor of the pilot's helmet.

...Or so I surmise :)
