Why the downvote? it really does look like a hoax.

Plus when people say "flaying car" I expect a sci-fi like flying care: that it can hover and fly vertically, not have a parachute-like thing attached to it.

This one really almost looks like an april fools joke.

"It looks like a hoax" is not a useful comment and has no research to back it up. The poster apparently did not even read the text under the linked video, which says "[T]he FAA has also issued the Maverick a S-LSA aircraft airworthiness certificate."

It is highly unlikely the FAA would issue a S-LSA[1] aircraft airworthiness certificate to a hoax.

really? Flying is hovering?

How angry will the birds be when I tell them they are doing it wrong?
