That’s going to be top of the list on my letter to Santa this year! Looks like great fun. In the shepherds’ hands, however, I can see it being useful in a public order context, but not against armed opposition. The last thing an infantryman wants or needs to do these days is emerge from cover. However, like the report of the flying drone shotgun we saw earlier this year, this hoverboard could have uses as a platform for weapons and battlefield logistics, like ammo re-supply. It will be interesting to see whether hoverboards will one day be a viable replacement for quadcopters.
I’m no technician, but it seems quite impressive to me that such a small platform can generate a large enough flow of air to keep a man aloft at that altitude. In fact, I’m a little surprised that the platform is not more bell shaped 😉
