planedriver Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 No good for RAAus registration as it has four enjines for a start, but is amazing to watch in flight if nothing else. Maybe a future pro-jet (spelt incorrectly) for Mick. The Incredible Flyboard Air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cscotthendry Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Wow! Very cool! A couple of observations / ideas / suggestions. 1) If it doesn't already have the type of stabilisation that the Segways and other 2 wheeled riders have, that would be useful. 2) For something that size it would be good for it to have some very bright strobes on it. 3) Since there is nothing aerodynamic about it it's totally reliant on fuel to keep it aloft. The rider was wearing a parachute which is an obvious necessity. 4) For operation over water as in the demo, I hope they have a very quick release mechanism for the pilots feet (I'm assuming his feet are fastened to the craft). 5) I'd love to give it a go!

Need a soft landing though because of my crook back. Noticed the jet-ski boys were never far away, which was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasmag Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I thought the backpack may have been fuel, didn't really look like a parachute, but was definitely wearing an inflatable yoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I hear parachutes are of no value under 250/300 feet altitude. Excepting the base jumper type. spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
