The French jet ski champion Franky Zapata, the man who invented the jet-powered Flyboard Air, has achieved the dream of all men. The Jet-powered prototype Flyboard Air set a world record for farthest hoverboard flight. Zapata flew his hoverboard for 2,252 meters (7,388 feet) with an average speed of 50-60km/h over Sausset-Les-Pins (south of France) sea shore.

The innovation Flyboard Air tested by Franky Zapata is an independent propulsion Unit representing 4 years of hard work for a result exceeding all records: an autonomous flight up to 10,000 feet, a top speed of 150km/h (93,2 mph), and 10 min autonomy.

Although the UFO is still in prototype phase and won’t be on the market in 2016, it has exactly the same behavior as the ESH Flyboard Pro Series.

Those who wants to feel the thrill, or pending the governmental approval, can discover Zapata Racing products: Flyboard Pro Series , Hoverboard by ZR, and Jetpack by ZR that allow you to fly safely over the water.

After wowing China and the Emirate of Dubai the next stop for this international company based in New Zealand is Top Marques where visitors to the exhibition will be able to see the future of personal transportation first hand.

Designed to be the world’s safest light aircraft, the Martin Jetpack is aimed at adventurers, futurists and visionaries who take up the challenge to explore and venture to places that others can only imagine.

The Martin Jetpack is a disruptive technology, much like the helicopter was when first developed, with substantial capabilities. It is able to be flown by a pilot or via remote control and can take off and land vertically (VTOL). Because of its small dimensions, it can operate in confined spaces that other VTOL aircraft such as helicopters cannot access, such as close to or between buildings, near trees or landing on the deck of a super yacht without the need for a full-size helipad.

The price of the Personal Jetpack is yet to be confirmed but it is likely to be in the region of US $150,000-$200,000. In addition, training and licence requirements will need to be established with the aviation authorities of each country, a process that is already underway in partnership with the New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority.
