- Flying Frenchman crosses English channel on jet powered hoverboard.
Flyboard Air is now the world’s first jet powered hoverboard to cross the English channel.
Flyboard Air is a personal aviation transport, the hoverboard is powered by five small jet engines which produce 1500 horsepower.
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.
They are currently not for sale but are taking pre-orders.
Thanks for watching.

Absolutely astonishing! The man who invented this is completely underrated and not as famous as he should be!
That board needs to be painted green with little wings and missiles
i feel u
and skeleton bombs
Yes and hand-held pumpkin bombs!
And intead of a helmet, a green mask and learn to laugh like a crazy person. hahahaha
you got me :D
Man I wish to be alive for the next 50 years. Things are getting really exciting before we might blow up the world.
Have you been listening to 16 yo girls??
Pretty sure we're going to blow this civilization up before then. Let's just hope that AGI is a slow process and not a lightbulb moment.

Raptor 00 Is Elon Musk a 16 yo girl?
You’re excited? In india even after 50 years they will be talking how taj mahal is tejo mahalaya and how they should break and make it ram mandi Lmao.
Can’t wait to fly to people’s windows and be like “You and me can rule this city Spaidaman!”
I've heard of the Flying Dutchman, but Flying Frenchman puts it to a whole new context.
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!
No they wont ... unless they are super-rich / working for the super-rich ... because ACCIDENTS - which WILL happen once these things become widespread - will be a great big negative headline turning people off. It is a niche product and there are other SLOWER AND THUS SAFER options in development ... which also dont make as much noise.
@@Muck006 I know some history and people have said the same thing as you about every single new invention that appeared. They said it about the invention of the bicycle, vaccines, motorcycle, automobile, cameras, talking movies, telephone, electric light bulb, the airplane, modern parachutes, radio, television, spacecraft, answering machines, the personal desktop computer, the laptop, the internet, the cell phone, smart phone, online shopping, drones, and on and on....It is short-sighted naysayers like you who are negative about everything so just STFU as history isn't on your side.
@@Muck006 let bro be happy for his grandkids in peace lmao💀
@@realbreezyy really doe
You can ride EUC right now, its the closes to this technology while still "earthbound"
OMG I can't wait for the first Hover Board bank robbery and hover board police chase...hehe
Seth Sacks why dont you rob a bank with it!
You will be very famous...
@@mdzaman3148 just remember, you are obligated to wear a goblin costume
@@danielwilson8604 you beat me to it
Be interesting
Nope..try escape from prison using this😂
Having to stop for fuel doesn't count as a full crossing but..... Holly S..t ..... VERY VERY SUPER COOL!!! Congratulations ! ! ! Much better than anyone else has done!
My thoughts exactly. This is super cool, but Lindy didn’t get to stop anywhere as he crossed the Atlantic. The plane had to carry enough fuel on its own to qualify. Someday this will though. It’s so cool and the first version of the airplane didn’t cross the English Channel either.
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
Typical Ladd every comments section i see your profile pic Lmao

Well come air paad air kit
@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...
I believe that nice impression comes from England. I´m from FI. But I can climb to an edge that I can reach by jumping and grabbing with one hand's fingers. Then I lift up, secure the other hand and pull my chest over it, then push to straight arms, then lift the legs on it.
Mexican can jump Trump wall the wall
lol
calm
it wasnt that high
That's the most impressive thing u saw in the video? lollll
Imagine being impressed by that, how unathletic/unfit do you have to be?
MR.Zapata Respect.
yes
They should make it bulkier and wider to allow more fuel capacity. This is Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, and New Goblin level technology
Mexican can jump Trump wall the wall
What the heck is that loud clanking noise. Oh yeah, it's his huge brass balls knocking together. Amazing.
We can only hope we'll see something like this that's cheap and practical enough in our lifetimes that we could buy.
why would it be cheap??
@@Al_Dente-d1p so the masses could afford it, simple economics
Cool af. Takes me back when I was a kid in the 90s. That cool feeling you got when watching The Rocketeer.
Absolutely Stunning! so much respect to its inventer... sci fi dreams become reality
No ... because Sci-Fi is FICTION ... and to be practical you would require a much longer duration ... but since the concept works with JET ENGINES and thus is DEPENDANT UPON FUEL ... it is LIMITED in the duration.
Oh! So this is where my great grandfather's stolen hover board went! He loved flying on it!
I fly like that many time without engine in dreams.
Lucid dream?
Oh man I love those flying dreams! Just don’t seem to get them as much as I did in my younger years.
I remember flying with no device in one dream and in a flying saucer to moon in another also one as ghost after dying in snow skiing accident in another so have never went snow skiing but have gone water skiing.
Even I've had a couple of dreams where I was flying without equipment! Watching this video felt like a dream come true!
Me too...since I was a kid in the 1970s.
Someone needs to arrange a meeting between Zapata and Musk! Let's go!
As always, fun video!
XJET/WASP was the American's effort, worked, but the helicopter boys did not like the competition, the original Vertical Take off and landing of this style of Design was in France by a French company April through August 1957.
The SNECMA Atar Volant or C.400 P1 was a French turbojet engine produced by SNECMA as part of their "Atar" series. Encased in a basic fairing which could hold fuel and remote-control equipment, the unit weighed 5,600 pounds (2550 kg) and generated a thrust of approximately 6,200 pounds-force (27.6 kN); the Atar Volant was able to cause vertical lift, Actual machine is on Display in France "Atar Volant C.400 P2"
I like the flying jet wing that straps on your back...
Incredible and congratulations on making history
I’m really excited for the future of advance transportation. I hope I could fly one before I die.
Wow I bet his first successful flight made him feel like a real life superhero
nah just feeling good flying
Amazing to see tht French man flying over US 🧐😮😯
The future looks bright, our grandchildren are in for some treat,amazing stuff 👍
Coolest toy ever!
That’s how the Mexicans are going over trumps wall , lol 😂
This thing costs like close to a million dollars, with such money most mexicans would stay in their home country or move to USA legally.
danny goodwin 🤣..and I wanna escape U.S
What wall?

why this thing is so underrated
So great, at my place had just a small flyboard show, but very new in mind of people here
That looked indeed pretty dope!
Thank you for this info. So he did not really cross it outright like all the news outlets said... still really cool though.
no he cannot carry enough fuel to make it across, and not all the news outlets misslead, I got my info & little map from a news article
Add a wing suit
Wouldn’t the range be longer if he didn’t go 110 MPH?
Aqui é Vasco porra
@@tabbycat8511math
Literally magic
This time is amazing
This is way better than the flying back pack that the military is using due to be able to hold things with your hands .
Un exploit extraordinaire ! 🤗
That has to feel amazing!
I ride motorbikes and a motorbike without a windshield at 100 klms per hour, the wind on your chest is so great it feels like you will be thrown off the back of the bike, so wind hitting you at 177 klms per hours must feel pretty bad.
Now we've got the French coming over on hoverboards! Brexiteers are gonna be real pissed at this. 😁
Lol. well said.
nah, we have jetpacks
@@diobrando2160 yeah I saw those british army jetpacks fitted on legs and arms on a man. All surgers are ready !
Phenomenal achievement! 👏👏👏
Good progress
The Banksters have to be locked up- before this arrives for sale ! : anyway i would like to have this one ! ;)
2:05 if i saw that i would just assume he's a supervillain and I am going to die
Well done sir keep pushing that envelop, I think this is super.
Love it! Keep going we want one too!
This is history.
Damn. The future is so amazing.
Just go at movie theater and wait... Researchers are inspired by movies
How he is keeping his body upright is only a miracle.
...........why?.....what else would he be doing...!!!
Wow, count me in. I can't wait.
BEST GENIUS OF ALL TIME A REVOLITION FOR THE NEXT YEARS AHEAD REALLY. CONGRATS FRENCH FLYING MAN !!! ON VOUS AIME !!! MERCI !!!
U are lying
@@PabloEscobar-zd7re NOT AT ALL SIR !! WE LL WAIT YOU IN 10 YEARS AND YOU LL FIND OUT THIS TRUTH
I can definitely see the military potential of this technology. because of it's design, you have one hand free, meaning that it's possible to control the fly board while carrying a gun. I would like to know if its possible to shoot while flying, assuming you use a low caliber with a good recoil system.
Build the throttle into the grip of the rifle.
could be used for going over difficult terrain more so than offensive action but yea
Great footage
Sheeeeesh he went in creative mode
I can imagine the Euphoric Rush you would get from piloting one these.
Here you can imagine it better...

Adjust the view angle to see the helmet's edge low and laterally to see the pilot's shadow on terrain.

I think this is the future of travel, no more traffics jams, parking , Faster
Awesome!
I need one.
Imagine how cool these are gonna be when we figure out nuclear fusion!
Nuclear fusion cannot take place in small containers. It will require several square kilometres to derive efficient energy from nuclear fusion 😁
@@Leon-bp6kb Ofcourse! The energy produced from it could be stored in the battery, however that will be the same as any regular battery.
@@Leon-bp6kb yep it can, but fusion is really only about production efficiency, if you want to be able to use that device for hours, you gotta make new improvements in the storage part of things.
Does a nuclear submarine body rich about a Kilometer? So NO
With the money now given to him to further improve the flyboard, it will soon find its way with the exoskeleton also being develop and improve further, and only then we'll see a real flying Iron Man exoskeleton for military application.
The future is bright
Pfft. More likely that they’ll just supersize this device and put a chair in it then call it a hover car.
@@Pigeonkeeper555 Boths ways will be fine. The first idea (exoskeletton) is more ambitious and will take way more time to get real.
Best flying hoverboard ever seen.
Здорово...всем бы такой на массовое производство что бы доступно всем было...
most likely as the technology cheapens, it will become readily available.
I would like one of these
I need one of those
He literally looks like a super hero
Felicitaciones Superman 2.
This Hover Board is awesome. I feel like watching a 007 spy movie
I want to subscribe to uranus
"I wonder if you human can do such beautiful things why you chose usually the worst activities as such war and killing each other? " An angel who was flying near him said!
Because we have something called greed, Which means every person or every group wants to use these advantages to be superior to others so that they feed their feeling of arrogance by being above others
@@MrBARA-rt3uf saddely true.
Thats very inspiring. There can be a carriable gas tank on back to make it longer. Of course there will be another calculations too about engine if its gonna work more than 10 min. This thing is admirable!
Having to stop for fuel doesn't count as a full crossing but..... Holly S..t ..... VERY VERY SUPER COOL!!! Congratulations ! ! !
2:04 is basically Neon Night-Riders. I'm in 2020, so I should know.
I gotta have one of those! 🤣🤣🤣
Mexican can jump Trump wall the wall
You have something awesome, don't stop, fly around world, this invension need global market.
Surfing in the air, amazing.
And yet we haven't found a cure for baldness...
but we have

Self made man, Vive son équipe vive les Français !
BRAVO !
MAIS LE BÉMOL C'EST DE NE PAS NOUS MONTRER LE RAVITAILLEMENT...

Bizarrement aucune image du ravitaillement ??? Sur aucune vidéos
Lol when I first saw a video of this guy, I was convinced it was a hoax 😂
damn I can't wait till this stuff comes out
Magnifique ❤
I want to become Superman
This concept of flying equiptment introduce in the movie HE MAN 1987 lead actor dolph laugrend
Excellent
Good effort I wonder what Louis bleriot would have thought of this
Well done sir
It's the first baby steps to flying cars. Fuel needs to change, somehow.
Trusten Baker no fuel liquid air
@@lucille4824 Well whatever, I just mean that the fuel needs to get better to have less of it and go further or the engines do, or both.
@@lucille4824 We aren't going to have flying cars till the engines and fuel improve dramatically.
Nuclear?
@@trustenbaker8766 Well it seems that he's going to prove you wrong because he said he would reveal the first prototype of a flying car before the end of the year. Apparently it has already been flying but he cannot display it for safety issues. The engine is still a limitation for autonomy but the technology is already there.
Spiritual So In Da Buildinggg😂
It's so coooool. I wish i could have one someday.
Love to see him fly around in a Green Goblin suit

Put on red light-suit, fly through city at night... well, that's one way to get church attendance back up, I guess.
Bird strikes scare me.
Can’t imagine general population with these. Bad ass stuff🤘
I really hope a big corporation picks this up. Micro jet engines to lift a person is not a super difficult concept, so a big company could probably make something like this consumer ready in the next decade, and I am sure there would be a market for it.
Longer it takes it better. Society is not ready. Not even for e rollers... XD
Le monde en avait rêvé, un Français l'a fait !!!
You, yes you from the future 2119 , if the internet is still around and this video, if this comment is still here, and you wish to know how it felt to be around the pioneers of your 'Jetpack 9000' that can fly you for hundreds of miles, I can only say it's great man, it's wonderful. I feel now what Thomas Edison felt, what Henry Ford felt, and I do think now how cool it was to be there and then 100 years ago . On October 1, 1908 the first T model was produced, now, after 100 years we have fully electric limousines that can drive themselves.
Dreaming enjoying this WORLD🚀
I like the full speed thru the marina in boats. Thought you had to reduce your wake.
