Remember, we recently told you about the Flyboard Air hoverboard created by the talented French athlete and inventor Frankie Zapata? Many people who watched the video where Frankie flew over the water for some time on a tiny jet device attached to his legs simply could not believe their eyes. Numerous theories have been put forward that the existence of such a device is simply impossible, and the video is a well-made fake. But Zapata not only proved the reality of his development, but also in front of everyone, he broke the world record for hoverboard flight range.
And this time, skeptics will simply have nothing to argue, because Frankie Zapata, with her next flight, entered the Guinness Book of Records, under the strict supervision of its official representatives. But to fake or falsify it would be rather problematic, agree? A crowd of onlookers, filming everything that happens on their cameras and smartphones, also recognized that the hoverboard is more than real. Frankie flew at his invention a distance of 2 kilometers 252 meters in 3 minutes 55 seconds, which immortalized his name in the famous book of records. The previous record was only 275 meters. It was installed in 2015 by Canadian inventor Katalin, Alexander Duru.
Among other things, for the first time, the Flyboard Air hoverboard was shown to reporters near and told something about its development and device. Over the past four years, Frankie Zapata, along with several engineers from his team, have been working to create a device that can lift a person into the air without using a stream of water, as was the case with the very first Flyboard. We remind you that it was Zapata in 2005 who created the flying platform, which allowed a person to perform incredible acrobatic stunts in the air thanks to the pressure of water pumped into the platform through the hose with a jet ski pump.
The team developed several prototypes of the future Flyboard Air, and finally, they considered one of them to be quite effective and safe for flying. Hoverboard is capable of speeds up to 100 kilometers per hour and lift a person to almost any height. However, it is worth remembering that in the event that the hoverboard breaks or something goes wrong - you should have a backup landing plan. That is why Frankie is trying to demonstrate the work of Flyboard Air exclusively on water, so as not to break if his invention fails.
Flyboard Air soars in the air thanks to four jet engines, each of which has a capacity of 250 horsepower. The fuel supply (in this case, kerosene) is stored in the tank, which is secured with straps on the back of the pilot. The hoverboard is controlled using the remote control embedded in the pilot's hand, as well as by tilting the platform with his feet. To keep the entire system in balance helps an automatic system of several gyroscopes, powered by built-in batteries. Four racks are attached to the platform below, on which they land on a hard surface, and comfortable boots are mounted on top of it, in which the pilot sticks his legs.
Frankie admitted that a lot of changes had to be made to the original design. For example, engineers mounted two additional motors with propellers in the hoverboard for better control, since without them it would be very difficult to keep the structure in balance. A special algorithm controls them, so the pilot does not have to constantly be distracted by stabilizing the hoverboard. When developing this system, everything was taken into account, including the speed of a possible headwind or crosswind. For a very long time the system was tested in the workshop of Frankie Zapata before he decided to embark on his invention and finally fly.
Well, it’s great that in the world there are so successful inventor enthusiasts who do not need to be Elon Musk with his huge fortune in order to soar into the air on a hoverboard just created by his own hands. What will be the next step of Frankie Zapata - he himself has not yet decided, however, now you can be 100% sure that his Flyboard Air is a real breakthrough among all hoverboards existing today. And all those skeptics who refused to believe in the reality of what they saw in the very first video (we published it last month) will now be forced to admit their mistake.
