I came across this new concept of hoverboard that comes close to the expectations people have for such device. This french inventor Franky Zapata’s water-jet Flyboards are a popular vacation experience but he had a bigger idea on mind when working on them. This past weekend he released the first video that reveals his new technology that has him soaring about a maximum height of 10,000 feet for about 10 minutes while just standing on a pile of jet thrust. In 2011 he introduced his Flyboard, where a person can jet ski of water and perform tricks with a jet platform. Here on the other hand he replaces the water jets with one jet turbine engine and a backpack fuel tank to get him lifted off the ground. The Flyboard Air makes a impressive debut soaring Zapata over water but it does raise concerns if there’s engine failure and parachutes are not useful if below 100 feet. Maybe a inflatable suit can break someone’s fall if there’s any concerns? Nonetheless this guy is on the right track by coming up with cool ideas like this.
