The ultimate “bike-to-fly” setup? Short-packed Falcon 4 + integrated power conceptHey everyone,I wanted to share a visual design concept exploring just how portable personal flight can become when you utilize short-packing.The idea here is a complete, self-contained transport and flight system built around a 5-foot/6-foot short-packed Wills Wing Falcon 4 and a minimalistic pod harness (inspired by the Mosquito NRG). Instead of needing a massive truck or roof racks, everything is engineered to mount onto a Honda CR-250 dirt bike for easy trail or highway access to remote launch sites.Key Design Features:Custom Low-Profile Side Rack: Safely supports the short-packed Falcon 4 package alongside the frame without throwing off the rider’s center of gravity or steering clearance.Integrated Power Take-Off (PTO) System: To eliminate the dead weight of carrying a completely separate engine for the harness, the bike’s own CR-250 powerplant serves dual duty. A mechanical power-take-off shaft links directly from a sprocket on the rear axle area up to a bevel-gear drive assembly mounted on the harness framework.Dual-Purpose Engine: Once you arrive at the flying site, you can decouple the drive linkage or use the bike’s transmission to run the prop directly for powered flight or testing right from the rig, maximizing utility while minimizing extra equipment weight.Curious to hear the community’s thoughts on the mechanical feasibility of the rear-axle PTO linkage, weight distribution, or if anyone else has experimented with driving a harness prop directly off a motorcycle powerplant!
