This Video Of A Hoverboard That Can Fly 10,000 Feet High And 93 MPH Better Be Real

Daily Mail- A Frenchman whose hoverboard invention is being considered by the US Army for usage by combat soldiers was spotted flying his super-fast device over a lake in Arizona. Franky Zapata, a former professional jet ski driver, was seen flying his Flyboard Air hoverboard over Lake Havasu earlier this month. In footage of the flight, Zapata is seen hovering dozens of feet above the Lake Havasu beach as onlookers watched the amazing flight.

It’s unclear how Zapata takes off on his hoverboard, as the video starts after his is in the air. There are also no specific details on how Zapata is controlling the Flyboard or what exactly is powering it.

The device uses an ‘Independent Propulsion Unit’ to fly for about ten minutes and has a top speed of 93mph (150 km/h), Zapata Racing claims. Zapata is working with the US Army on uses for the Flyboard Air, but details of their collaboration are classified. The former jet skier did say, however, that the plans are to make the boards available to combat soldiers. Last year it was revealed that he had sold his company, Zapata Racing, to Implant Science, a Department of Homeland Security supplier.

Holy shit, is the future actually here? How long have people known about these Flyboard Airs? I always expected hoverboards to look like the pink Mattel hoverboards from Back To The Future at first and then slowly evolve into Biff’s hoverboard and then finally military grade hoverboard. But that hoverboard looks like it’s ready to invade the nightmares of countless Russians or North Koreans. Straight up supervillain shit. While I was associating hoverboards with quiet little Hill Valley and Back To The Future 2, the Department of Homeland Security was studying the Green Goblin and Spiderman. And to be honest I don’t hate it one bit. It’s nice to know that if (hopefully not when) World War III pops off, there is a chance we are going to have some hovercrafts ready for our troops.

*Unless this is all just a bunch of awesome special effects designed to cause Putin to piss himself a little.

P.S. Empy, tell me how Franky’s ass tastes!

The Flyboard Air allows users to fly untethered through the sky to an incredible height of 10,000ft (3,048m), which is almost seven times that of the Empire State Building.

P.P.S. The best part about a real hoverboard being invented is that people will actually be able to ride hoverboards. However the second best part is that those fake ass hoverboards with two wheels on the ground that have no business being called hoverboards will no longer be called hoverboards by anyone. A real deal hoverboard will kill two birds with one massive stone.
