For the past several years, inventors have been coming up with some incredible flying car designs. But the search for a viable flying car — one that doesn’t look too silly — is still on.
Meanwhile, French inventor Franky Zapata has revealed a “Segway of the sky” — the Zapata Ezfly hoverboard. Zapata amazed the world in 2011 with the release of the world’s first water-propelled hoverboard, known as the Flyboard.
The Ezfly is a relatively simple-looking machine: a pair of handgrips projecting up from a small baseboard equipped with a series of jet thrusters. Once airborne, the rider can steer with their body weight — just like on a Segway.
With a top speed of 80 miles per hour (130 km/h), the Ezfly can reach an incredible height of 10,000 feet (1.8 miles/3km
This is a video demonstration of the Zapata EZFly, the company’s latest jet-powered hoverboard. Unlike the company’s previous models, this one has handlebars for greater stability and doesn’t require the rider to wear a fuel-filled backpack. Based on all the cuts in the video, I’m guessing this thing has a flight time of about eight seconds. Still, soon hordes of tourists will be zipping around major cities on these things, taking in the sights and taking out power lines. THE FUTURE. Obviously, I’ll scavenge broken parts like Rey at the beginning of The Force Awakens to– “Build yourself a jet-powered robot lover?” What? Of course not. “Maybe though?” Tehehe! “You’re a freak, GW.” Who, this lil’ thang? *smiles coyly, gives myself devil horns with index fingers.
