This is a video of former Japanese professional baseball outfielder Tsuyoshi Shinjo demonstrating the XTurismo hovercraft prototype built by A.L.I. Technologies in front of thousands of people at the Sapporo Dome in Japan. A.L.I. Technologies hopes to launch the Xturismo commercially in 2025, with the hovercraft reaching speeds up to 60MPH with a 40-minute flight time (the current prototype only gets about 10 minutes of flight on a full charge). It will retail for around $650,000, which, I think we can all agree, is entirely too much to spend just to die tangled up in the power lines outside your home.
