As much as I appreciate the Flyboard Air, and really truly think it's impressive, my inspiration for a personal flight device is more along the lines of what Jetman has been using. Vertical take-off and landing - in my opinion - are stupidly wasteful "necessities" that only compound the problem of being able to have a decent amount of flight time.

A wing for lift is, to me, essential if a personal flight device is ever going to be compelling. I'm working on a different invention right now, but in time I do hope to return to my ParaWing concept, which combines modern scientific findings and design with composites in mind to have a lot of performance potential. Seems dangerous as all get out but that's the fun.
