I'm going to be very shocked if that thing isn't the featured stunt in the next James Bond movie. And I'd also be shocked if the special ops community hasn't got copies of that thing, trying to figure out how to make us of it in infiltration situations.

I have done the water ones that are hooked up to a wave-runner, that is fun. The physics of thrust is really interesting when you can play around with it in real life, attached to you.

Looks sweet, don't know if I want to carry a backpack full of jet fuel though
http://atlanticflyboard.com/flyboard-air/ Franky Zapata has done it ... he has created a real hoverboard, the first working one ever made. The new equipment uses a jet turbine engine to fly around. Zapata released the first video of his latest invention: the Flyboard Air. Gone is the jet ski, gone is the hose, and gone is the tether. This thing appears to take the handling and control system of the Flyboard, but replace the water jets with at least one jet turbine engine and a backpack fuel tank. It doesn't need to be attached to anything else, and has a maximum height of 10,000 feet and can fly at nearly 100 miles per hour. |

I've only seen videos of it flying over water, very low and pretty slow. I can't blame him, toppling over at 100' and 100 knots on land would kill you quite spectacularly.

What controls altitude? When you have all the forward momentum what keeps you from dipping too low? Figured there would be something controlled by hand that took care of altitude.

I think it has to be using a flight controller similar to what is in most of today's Quadcopter Drones to keep it stable, upright, and altitude hold. |

I would hop on one right now. If they can put the fuel tank lower so that I have a parachute.
If DJI can make an pretty much autonomous drone system they should be able to stabilize that thing. |

Always wondered about them, the top is the Radar type system to lock on the incoming threat? Is the Ammo in the pivoting portion or in the base? I honestly have no idea. I think that the radar is actually separate. I had a conversation with one of the NCOs that operate the system while I was deployed to BAF, and he told me that in order to engage incoming, it is tracked from separate radar stations in order to triangulate to ensure accuracy. |
