TedTheAtheist Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) https://www.zapata.com/air-products/flyboardair I must say, once I saw this I got really excited. I mean, I don't know how feasible it is with today's technology, but I have a feeling it'll become a lot better pretty soon if it's not already. Edit: I did more research. Looks like it's far from practical yet.. but man, one day it will be. Edited September 12, 2019 by TedTheAtheist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's death on jets, because should anything go wrong at all, the fall is almost always fatal. That's why he usually flies it over water. Suppose he makes that flyboard utterly reliable. Then I could see such flyboard being extremely useful, because you could transport yourself to places that don't need road infrastructure.

TedTheAtheist Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Yea, I'm sad to see we still have a long way to go with them.. but I hope I'm not dead when we perfect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehab1 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I’ve watched so many of Zapata’s videos over the years. He is amazingly skilled at inventing and flying. I do like flying but worry about one of the jet engines taking a dump. His new invention looks like a blast, much safer and cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedTheAtheist Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Yea, the water thing was actually first before the flyboard in the article I posted. It does look fun.. I just hate being tethered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lake neighbor’s would love this thing and I’m sure they would be dumbfounded but I’ve shocked them in the past when I landed on my property so they would probably just laugh it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
