Flyboard Air
Flyboard Airis a type ofjetpack /hoverboardpowered bygas turbines.It was invented by French water-craft riderFranky Zapata, founder of Zapata racing.
It achieved a Guinness World Record for farthest flight by hoverboard in April 2016 of 2,252.4m (7,389.8ft; 2,463.3yd; 1.4mi).Zapata Racing claims that it allows flight up to an altitude of 3,000 metres (9,800ft) and has a top speed of 150km/h (93mph). It also has 10 minutes' endurance.
The load capacity is 102kg (225lb). The "jet-powered hoverboard" is powered by five turbines and is fueled by kerosene.
Zapata participated in the 2019Bastille Day military paraderiding his invention.
His attempt to cross theEnglish Channelon 25 July 2019 failed as he fell into the sea at the refuelling platform. A second crossing attempt on 4 August 2019 succeeded. Escorted by French Army helicopters and using a backpack fuel reservoir, he accomplished the journey – 35 kilometres (22mi) – with one refueling stop at the midpoint. Zapata reached a speed of 177km/h (110mph) during the 20-minute flight. The trip started atSangattein thePas-de-Calaisdepartment in France and concluded atSt Margaret's at Cliffein Kent, United Kingdom where he landed safely.
Zapata's company, Z-AIR, had received a €1.3 million grant from theFrench military. However, he has said that the flyboard was not yet ready for military use due to the noise it creates and the challenge of learning how to fly the device.In a France Inter radio interview, France's Minister of the Armed ForcesFlorence Parlysaid the flyboard might eventually be suitable, "for example as a flying logistical platform or, indeed, as an assault platform".
In 2017, Zapata had provided the U.S. Army with demonstrations of the Flyboard Air "jet-powered hoverboard" or "jet-powered personal aerial vehicle", referred to as the EZ-Fly; news reports suggested the price per unit might be $250,000.A July 2019 report provided no indication of any serious interest by the American military as of that time for this new technology.
On 4 August 2019, Zapata told BFM TV that he was working on building a flying car, that he hoped to introduce before year-end. He said that he had flown a prototype chassis powered by four gas turbines but the final model would employ ten turbines in order to cruise at 310–400 kilometres per hour (190–250mph), and achieve a range of about 110 kilometres (68mi)

USA and ISRAEL | Why does the United States always treat Israel well
The United States has many close allies. These include: Canada, United Kingdom, Korea, Japan, Australia. However, beyond all those countries, is Israel, the friend that has received the most special treatment from the Washington government in the world. On average, Israel receives billions of dollars in aid each year.
Israel also receives protection from the United States against its enemies in the Middle East. Why is that? Let's find out together. In 1948, Israel proclaimed the founding of the nation in the face of hostility from the Arab countries. They believe that the Jews have invaded the sacred area of Islam, as well as occupied the land of Palestinians who have lived there for hundreds of years.
So war broke out between the two sides. At that time, the United States did not take sides. They appear friendly to gain sympathy with the oil-rich Middle Eastern countries. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, provided full arms support to Israel through Czechoslovakia, in order to draw the country to the communist side, against the waning influence of the British empire in the region.
However, after the victory, the Jews looked to the US and its allies to receive aid sources, in order to develop their economy. The West greets Israel with cold eyes. "There's nothing such a small country can do, but just follow us." The Soviet Union was angry, turned to support the Arab countries, against the Jews.
Within more than a decade, their influence rapidly grew in the Middle East. The United States is very worried but can't do anything about it. Because many Arab countries at that time hated the West, because in the past they were ruled by Britain and France. In 1967, Israel alone faced 5 countries in the region and won. They suddenly became famous and noticed in the United States.

What did China do to overcome the economic crisis
Since the beginning of this year, after China's second largest real estate group - Evergrande Group declared its inability to repay its debts, thousands of articles from foreign media have provided analysis. to prove: Beijing's economy will soon collapse. They have grounds for saying so.
Because China's recent situation has similarities with some of the great crises of the United States in the past. However, if we dig a little deeper, we will have a different view. China does not easily fall into a crisis like the United States. Why is that? Let's find out together.
Since the 1990s, China has entered a period of miraculous economic growth, with an average growth rate of more than 10 percent. By 2009, they beat the United States and became the largest producer in the world. Business activities boomed. Many people become entrepreneurs and become rich. Confidence in the possibility of success always outweighs the fear of bankruptcy.
Therefore, from bankers to investors, they are overly optimistic. Banks are actively lending, and people are happy, borrowing as much as possible. Up to now, the total amount of money that Chinese financial institutions have lent has reached a terrible figure, with $51.870 billion, or 341% of GDP.
A large part of that is used by investors to buy real estate, speculating to make a profit when prices rise. As more people join, i.e. demand increases, so does real estate prices. As a result, by 2020, major Chinese cities like Shenzhen and Shanghai will become four times more expensive than New York in the United States
