Gone is the jet ski, gone is the hose, and gone is the tether. Franky Zapata, the man who invented the jet-powered Flyboard Air, set a new world record on Saturday for the farthest flight by a hoverboard. Thanks to Steve R for highlighting this one. Zapata released the first video of his latest invention: the Flyboard Air. You can also see one of the test flights below (any excuse for a bit of AC/DC!) In the video, there are about a dozen riders willing and ready to test out Zapatas Ezfly hoverboard over a body of water in Texas. It’s not new, note – it’s from a year ago now – but still makes impressive viewing. I broke all the electronics on the board, so it will cost me money, but the rest of it is fine. I started to turn like, and I had no choice but to kill the engine just before I landed in the water. And the machine starts to turn like a torpedo, like if you lost the small rotor on a helicopter.

Video of Flyboard Air in operation This page was last edited on, at 10:54 (UTC). So just five seconds before I landed on the platform, I go out of battery. Flyboard Air is a type of jetpack/hoverboard powered by gas turbines. And we didn’t realize that when we have wind we go through more battery for the stabilization system. We will cross 2 miles with the Flyboard Air at about 60 to 80 kilometers per hour.Īnd we were training for that, and the last time trained we trained with 80 kilometer per hour wind. Flyboard Europe was founded in February 2012 and has been pioneering the new industry one day at a time. We strive to provide The Ultimate Experience for our customers with new and amazing water jet technology. The last one was 275 meters, and we will break it by 10 times longer. Flyboard Europe is one the biggest distributors for Zapata-Racing products around the world. Vídeo de la primera prueba del Flyboard Air, dispositivo que imita de algún modo el famoso patinete volador de Marty McFly en Regreso al Futuro 2. The device itself was made by Franky Zapata, of Zapata Racing, the makers of the earlier ‘Flyboard’ a water-powered jetpack-like device worn on the feet and attached to a jetski see bottom video.
Three days ago I crashed in the water because we tried to - you know we’re going to do the hoverboard farthest trip. The Flyboard Air is a jet-powered board which a human operator stands on, allowing them to fly a considerable distance off the ground. In peak condition Ideal in a choir But take your move goes well Innate depravity of all overseas military bases. Nothing really serious, there’s no danger for me, because I fell in the water honestly three days ago. She stays as it usually someone will buy less wine. The video was shot in France and features Franky Zapata, the inventor, demonstrating how the Flyboard Air can continue flying with one of its engines disabled.
