Skyboard

1. Skyboard is a lightweight board similar to a snowboard, usually equipped with foot bindings and a recovery parachute, used for skysurfing, a type of skydiving in which the skydiver performs surfing-style aerobatics during free-fall.

2. Skyboard is the brand name of a dynamic advertising trailers with a total media space up to 360 m². (more than 3.800 sq ft), used as a billboard (advertising) in outdoor advertising. It is mobile, can be quickly installed on open spaces and erects itself automatically in only a few minutes. It was invented by Bernd Schneider, who holds a european patent on this invention.

3. Skyboard is a one- person glider that offers a highly manoeuvrable alternative to skydiving: Invented by New Zealander [http://www.skyboardnz.com/aboutus.php/ Bob Harris] , the Skyboard is a 2.3m long capsule, in which a pilot lies face down with hands on controls that offer full flying functions. On being launched from between 10,000ft and 35,000 ft (from either a fixed wing aircraft or helicopter) Skyboards front and rear wings, and tail plane are electronically deployed. The pilot, using aileron and elevator control surfaces can then fly the glider before making a wheels-down or parachute-assisted landing.
