It has enough kerosene fuel in it’s backpack to fly for about 10-12 minutes, and can fly at speeds up to about 110 mph, and it HAS the capability of flying upto 10 thousand feet, but only IF you could carry enough fuel.

The Flyboard Air can take off anywhere & land anywhere. In case you are wondering, yes the original Flyboard is the Jetski water version of the Flyboard Air.

MILITARY APPLICATIONS

France's military has also sought to develop the technology for itself, and recently gave his company, Z-AIR, a €1.3m ($1.4m; £1.28m) grant.
In an interview with France Inter radio, French Defence Minister Florence Parly said the flyboard could serve several purposes, "for example as a flying logistical platform or, indeed, as an assault platform

Expected Retail price of the Flyboard Air will be around $297,500 euro or about $330,000 US dollars.

Absolutely astonishing! The man who invented this is completely underrated and not as famous as he should be!

[anurag-kumar]

Man I wish to be alive for the next 50 years. Things are getting really exciting before we might blow up the world.

[hazmat]

That board needs to be painted green with little wings and missiles

[DucaTech]

I've heard of the Flying Dutchman, but Flying Frenchman puts it to a whole new context.

[CaneFu]

I'm older, I won't be alive to see these flyboards in common use, but my grand-kids will. What an amazing world it is going to be for them!

[DreamDemonify]

Can’t wait to fly to people’s windows and be like “You and me can rule this city Spaidaman!”

[Khether]

@3:49 holy crap! The way the guy climbed from the ground on top of that platform was really impressive! That was a tall platform...

[sethsacks]

OMG I can't wait for the first Hover Board bank robbery and hover board police chase...hehe

[richardtop]

Having to stop for fuel doesn't count as a full crossing Holly S..t VERY VERY SUPER COOL!!! Congratulations ! ! ! Much better than anyone else has done!

[shafrobert]

What the heck is that loud clanking noise. Oh yeah, it's his huge brass balls knocking together. Amazing.

[imperialguardsman]

Now all we have to do is to recruit this guy and make him T-pose as he hovers in the air to assert dominance during the Area-51 raid

[skipx]

Absolutely Stunning! so much respect to its inventer... sci fi dreams become reality

[hardcorehunter]

We can only hope we'll see something like this that's cheap and practical enough in our lifetimes that we could buy.

[SilverScarletSpider]

They should make it bulkier and wider to allow more fuel capacity. This is Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, and New Goblin level technology

[dannygoodwin]

That’s how the Mexicans are going over trumps wall, lol 😂

[FuneralGraveMemorial]
