Jetboard equipped with jet engine Jet board "Flyboard Air" which can fly freely in the sky appeared

We are developing a jet board that fly in the sky by water pressureZapata RacingFounder of Frankly Zapata, founder of the new jet "Flyboard Air"Test flying movie released. The new type Flyboard Air is based on the thrust of the jet turbine engine instead of the hydraulic pressure, so that there are no limitations on the range of movement and the like for the conventional hydraulic jet board, and it is possible to literally fly around the sky literally It is becoming.

Mr. Zapata, who is preparing for the test flight.


Receive something like a small jet-board remote control ......


I grasp this with hands.


Then, the splash of the splash starts dancing ......


The jet board flew away.


The new jet board "Flyboard Air" is not a hydraulic system, so there are no hoses extending from the board and no water blowing hard from the board. At first glance it looks like an image synthesized with Photoshop etc ... ...


If you look closely well you can see that the jet jets out violently from the bottom of the jet board and that it is flying as thrust.


It looks like this when you look at it further. Just as it is floating the jet board and one human being in the air, you can see that the jet is blowing out quite violently.


Mr. Zapata, who is maneuvering, seems to be flying very easily, is a leading water pressure jet board.


It is unknown how much training is necessary to actually skip.


In the test flight, it seems to be flying over the lake in case of an emergency such as engine failure.


Although the flight altitude is about 30 meters with the feeling of seeing the movie, Mr. Zapata is said to be capable of flying at 3048 meters, the flight possible time is 10 minutes, the ground speed is Max and about 150 km per hour.



Looking at the lake from the jet board side is like this. The boat that runs over the lake has become quite small and you can see that the test flight is at its own altitude.


Finally, I returned to the departure / arrival point provided on the side of the lake and the test flight ended.


It is very accurate returning to the base, and the control accuracy may be quite high.


The flight time of the test flight was 3 minutes 55 seconds and the maximum speed was 55 km / h.
