The "Aerocycle" can be used as the source, for the next generation lightweight space probes.

"Aerocycle" could also be equipped  the laser-motors

The term laser-motor means the rocket motor, what uses lasers for boiling water or some other liquid in the tank, and this heat, what comes from lasers would replace the fire for making pressure in the rocket motor. In the distant future, the mankind would use the "Aerocycle"-style devices for investigating the distant planets and their moons. The NASA edition of "Aerocycle" would be useful in the use of astronauts on the moon and other planets. That futuristic edition would be used in the moon, by equipping it with laser-motors. This motor would work very effectively on the Moon. In this scenario, the tanks what are around the center device would be equipped with lasers, what would steam the water or some gas like the Ammoniac in the bottle below this device.


The main tank would be equipped with ventilation, what would release the steam for making the pushing force, and under the tanks would also be ventilation for stabilizing the device. And there could be motors at the end of the masts, what allows to drive this device in the vertically, and it would be suitable for the Moon trips, and the orbital operations. The astronaut would stand at the layer, and use the space suit. The "Space cycle" could be equipped with manipulators, and it could be used for long-range trips on the Moon and in the distant future, at the asteroid belt.


But when we are thinking this device as the instrument, what could be used for exploring the atmospheres of the Gas planets like Jupiter or Saturn and the missions in the atmosphere of the Titan moon, this device can operate by using the RTG-generator. This generator would rotate the wings of the helicopter, and when the device wanted to go to orbital journey for sending the samples of the surface, it would raise very high, by using very long rotor wings, and then this device would start the laser-rocket motor.


The propellant would be the tank from the Titan's ocean, and this device can rise in very high altitude, and after that starts the engine. After this, another probe would pick the test tube and fly to the Earth. Or this small device would open the mylar plate, and then start to create the electric arc after this device, and then those electrons could push the device to the long journey back to Earth. Who knows, what kind of devices would be used for this kind of trips, where the samples are taken from the distant planets and moons in the distant future.

Here we can see, that every flying vehicle in the world is very dangerous if it is used for the wrong purpose. If the security personnel would not expect that enemy might use miniature combat helicopters, would the protected person in big trouble. Those miniature helicopters can transfer the snipers very precisely in the roofs and other places, where normally is very difficult to go. And if the assassin would use this kind of device, would this person slip thru the security. If the seals have put to the roofs, and the sniper would go there after the check, could that person pass the security, and be dangerous for any target in the world.


The idea of the personal helicopter is not new, and here is one of the most successful models of the miniature aviation. In 1950's CIA and United States military created this kind of helicopters for multi-purpose usage, and they are the base of the modern miniature aviation devices. The developing of those miniature devices stopped because of accidents, but the idea of the vehicle was very good, and only the lack of suitable technology, like computers, what could stabilize this vehicle was caused the termination of this interesting project.


Sometimes there have been rumors that some special forces operators have used this kind of miniature devices in their operations, and if the device uses autorotation, it might be the good thing for land silent in the operation area. When this tiny helicopter is in the right altitude, the blowers under the system start to make the air cushion, that the device would not touch the ground. In the right altitude, the operator could jump to the ground, and then this tiny helicopter would fly away.


This kind of miniature devices can be used to raise the agent to the roofs, and the snipers could use them as the shooting platform, and they can be used to avoiding minefield. The operators could also use machine-guns, and the Pentagon hoped that they could be used as the miniaturized combat helicopters, where the operators would use assault weapons from the hand. Those devices would also be made in the form of "X-helicopter" what makes them more stable.


Another thing, what Pentagon wanted to use those devices was to carry bombs to the enemy lines, and also the electronic surveillance and cameras were hoped to install to those devices. Somebody sees the thermobaric explosives in the middle of the "Aerocycle", and this device could be ideal to deliver that kind of ammunition. Modern technology makes those devices easier to handle, and the technology, what is planned to use in those new devices, is actually the same, what is used in the miniature helicopters. And there are claims, that the CIA has the trunk, where could be put the four rotors what are hidden in the carbon fiber rods, and this device could be used for raise the agents to the roofs.
