HansiMeier33 writes: France’s annual Bastille Day parade showcased European military cooperation and innovation on Sunday, complete with a French inventor hovering above Paris on a jet-powered flyboard.
The former jetskiing champion and military reservist Franky Zapata clutched a rifle as he soared above the Champs-Élysées on his futuristic machine, which the French military helped to develop.
The board, which was first created to fly above water, can reach speeds of up to 190km/h and can run for 10 minutes.
