Just 3 years ago, on August 4, 2019, the Marseillais Franky Zapata amazed the planet by crossing the English Channel in 22 minutes at the controls of his "flyboard air", a funny flying board.

To celebrate this feat, the 43-year-old adventurer and Geo Trouvetou, former jet ski pilot, chose this anniversary date to make us dream even more by unveiling his flying car called "Jet Racer" this Thursday evening in a very Hollywood.

This presentation, postponed several times in particular due to the Covid epidemic, was eagerly awaited by adrenaline fans.

With vertical takeoff and landing, the aircraft, which looks like it came straight out of a science fiction film, is powered by ten micro-turbojets.

It can reach a speed of 250 km/h.

Built on the basis of a light and modular chassis, the car is able to adapt “to both civilian and military needs” and even be “controlled remotely” like a giant drone.

According to the team of designers who intend to "revolutionize the mobility of tomorrow", "the emphasis was placed on manoeuvrability, ease of handling and above all the high level of safety".
