The product shown below is called the UFO and is still in prototype phase and won’t be on the market anytime soon. Zapata Racing has a number of other flying inventions that hover over water such as , Flyboard® Pro Series, Hoverboard by ZR® and Jetpack by ZR® for those who wish to explore this further.

Franky Zapata uploaded the latest test run to you-tube, shown above and its gone viral. Many believed it to be a hoax, but no hoax here, this is for real. This also is a long way from you or I riding on one. What it is, is a brilliant beginning.

• The back pack is full of kerosene
• 4 turbo engines on the board and 2 on the sides for stabilization.
• a controller serves as a throttle for the turbo engines
• rising up to 10,000 feet
• running up to 10 minutes
• ground speed up to 93 mph

This is far from SAFE

It is reported that Zapata Racing will sell this to Implant Sciences Corporation, having signed a letter of intent.

Authors Opinion

Since I was to cover hover boards this week, this product doesn't qualify for review, but I felt it deserved a place all the same. There seems to be some big break through happening over at Zapata Racing making this an important step forward. There is little information available out there on the web. I have yet to hear back on my request for information from the company, yet I suspect we will be hearing more about this Back to the Future.
