Phil Pauley, a London based designer has come up with a revolutionary super bike design. This bike is unique not only due to the fact that its powered by a jet engine but also due to the fact that it can literally fly. This flying bike has been named as the Bullet by Phil Pauley.

You can have a better look at the Bullet at Phil Pauley's official website. The flying Bullet has been designed with four short wings along with a tail fin. The rear design is dominated by the jet engine. The wings provide lift to the Bullet and they also offer additional storage space for fuel.

The flying bike is said to be able to fly at a height of one feet once the thruster in the jet engine is turned on. The additional lift provided by the Bullet's aerodynamic design allows it to reach speeds higher than conventional super bikes. The Bullet flying bike s also very manoeuvrable once it is air-borne.

The Bullet flying bike concept is claimed to have a top speed in excess of 300mph (480km/h). Such a performance will mean even the longest straight on a race track can be covered in a matter of seconds. Motoring enthusiasts will definitely like to have a ride on this flying bike. But we would advice this Bullet is not for the faint hearted.
