长江巴东段的水面上，一块没有轮子、没有机翼的滑板贴着江面快速飞行——滑板上站着一位青年，他脚尖微微一歪，整块滑板就拐了个弯。
On the waters of the Badong section of the Yangtze River, a wheel-less, wingless flying skateboard skims swiftly above the river surface. Standing on the board is a young man. A slight tilt of his toes makes the entire board turn.
他叫宋兴宇，是从湖北巴东大山走出来的26岁青年，他站在自己“手搓”滑板上飞行的视频在全网爆火，引发网友和媒体的关注，网上也出现了大量争议。部分博主发布长视频，对飞行滑板的飞控技术、电池工艺等提出质疑，少数不明真相的网友，则通过私信、跟评等方式，对其进行了侮辱性谩骂。
The young man is Song Xingyu, a 26-year-old native from the mountains of Badong, Hubei Province. Videos of him flying on his self-built flying skateboard have gone viral across the internet, drawing widespread attention from netizens and the media, while also sparking considerable debates online. Some content creators released lengthy videos questioning the flying skateboard’s flight control system, battery technology and other technical aspects. A small number of misinformed netizens subjected him to abusive insults via private messages and video comments.
10月22日下午，为回应网络“假飞”“视频AI合成”等争议，宋兴宇（博主“神奇阿宇”）在极目新闻等媒体记者见证下，在湖北省宜昌市的一家工厂内操控飞行滑板，完成了两次短距离飞行。随后，他又带领众人来到厂房外，完成一次距离更长的飞行演示。
On the afternoon of October 22, in response to online allegations of “fake flying” and “AI-generated footage”, Song Xingyu, known online by the handle “Magical Ayu”, piloted his flying skateboard as he completed two short-distance flights inside a factory in Yichang, Hubei Province. The visual spectacle was witnessed by journalists from Jimu News and other media outlets, who were then led outdoors for a longer flight demonstration.

宋兴宇告诉极目新闻记者，他近期正忙于下一个项目开发，但也不得不站出来回应，“希望网友理性看待，认真观看我此前发布的视频，客观看待这一产品。”
Song Xingyu told reporters from Jimu News that he has been busy developing his next project recently, yet he felt compelled to address the online doubts. “I hope netizens can stay rational. I also urge them to carefully watch my previously posted videos, and view this product objectively,” he said.
配件自制或者采购成品
Self-built Parts vs. Off-the-shelf Hardware
极目新闻：这个飞行滑板是怎么做出来的？
Jimu News: How did you build this flying skateboard?
宋兴宇：电池、电机等为采购成品，部分造型和结构部件，由自己设计、加工，用到3D打印、数控加工、激光切割等工艺。公司附近有几家加工厂和数控加工中心，图纸画出来后，最快两三个小时就能拿到成品。
Song Xingyu: The hardware such as batteries and motors were purchased as finished products. Certain structural and aesthetic parts were designed and fabricated by myself, using processes including 3D printing, CNC machining and laser cutting. There are several processing plants and CNC machining centers nearby. Once the technical drawings are finalized, I can get the finished parts in as little as two to three hours.
极目新闻：承重和动力是什么水平？
Jimu News: How about its load-bearing capacity and power specifications?
宋兴宇：我是按自身体重70公斤设计的，10个电机总推力达300公斤，动力非常强劲。上次飞行挑战和拍摄中，油门从未超过40%。体重200斤的人上去，结构可能承受不住而被压坏，需要重新设计。后期计划推出不同版本，包括高速性能版和长续航版，针对不同场景和体验。
Song Xingyu: I designed it for my own weight of 70 kilograms. Its ten motors deliver a combined thrust of 300 kilograms, providing extremely powerful propulsion. During my previous flight attempts and video shoots, the throttle never exceeded 40%. The structure may fail under the weight of a 100-kilogram person and would require a redesign. In the future, I plan to roll out different versions, including a high-speed model and an extended-endurance one, tailored for various scenarios and user experiences.
极目新闻：现在续航能到多少分钟？有没有需要改进的地方？
Jimu News: How long can it currently stay airborne? Is there any room for improvement?
宋兴宇：这个版本续航目前能做到16分钟，其实还可以更长，最大限制是电池放电倍率，目前只能到“25C”。放电能力越强，能量密度越低，二者是鱼和熊掌的关系。高速飞行一段时间后，电池会发热，所以每次落地时其实还有不少剩余电量。后期计划与一家国产电池品牌一起开发性能更强、放电能力更强、同时保证能量密度的新型专用电池。
Song Xingyu: The current model has a battery life of 16 minutes, although it could actually stay airborne longer. The main limitation is the battery’s discharge rate, which is currently capped at 25C. The stronger the discharge performance is, the lower the energy density will be. The two are a trade-off, meaning you cannot maximize both at the same time. After flying at high speed for a while, the battery heats up, so there is actually still a considerable amount of charge left when the aircraft lands each time. In the future, we plan to work with a domestic Chinese battery manufacturer to develop a new type of battery specifically designed for this aircraft, with higher overall performance and greater discharge performance while maintaining its energy density.
极目新闻：普通人能很快上手吗？
Jimu News: Can ordinary people learn to operate it quickly?
宋兴宇：操控方式非常特别，也非常灵活，可快速部署、起飞降落，不需要跑道，也不需要开阔空间；在合法合规的前提下，狭窄空间或街道上就能起飞。但一旦失去平衡，就有可能摔下来。控制平衡需要大量锻炼和训练。不要把它当成消费级产品，它是极限运动用品，像翼装飞行一样，需要体力和专业训练。
Song Xingyu: The control mechanism is highly unique and exceptionally flexible, allowing for rapid deployment, takeoff, and landing—no runway or open space is required. As long as all applicable laws and regulations are followed, it can take off in confined spaces or even on streets. However, if the pilot loses their balance, they may fall. Maintaining balance requires extensive practice and training. It should not be regarded as a consumer product. It is an equipment designed for extreme sports and requires both physical fitness and professional training, much like wingsuit flying.
不存在“假飞”等说法
Claims of “Fake Flying” Are Unfounded
极目新闻：网上有人说你是“假飞”，有人说靠地面其他人遥控才能飞。你怎么回应？
Jimu News: Some people online have claimed that you are “fake flying,” while others say that you can only fly because someone on the ground is remotely controlling the aircraft. How do you respond to these claims?
宋兴宇：这是非常离谱的谣言。人的身体是柔性结构，如果飞行器本身的飞控和外在遥控参与飞行控制，会产生耦合震荡，飞控根本控制不住，震荡会越来越剧烈；视频中快速机动的飞行，也不可能在地面遥控实现。其实，我发布的视频里展示得很清楚：我手上两个遥控器，一个是“油门”，是我自己做的；另一个是花100多元买的成品，只控制转向，损坏也无妨，因为身体也能控制转向。油门则控制10个电机的转速。飞行器的飞控芯片不参与飞行控制，操控核心就是人体，依靠前庭系统，眼睛、大脑的平衡感知和身体姿态；前倾、后倾的操控很像双翘滑板、滑雪、冲浪等板类运动。
Song Xingyu: These are extremely absurd rumors. The human body is a flexible structure. If both the aircraft’s own flight-control system and an external remote-control system were involved in controlling the flight, this would cause coupled oscillations. The flight-control system would be unable to keep the aircraft stable, and the oscillations would become increasingly severe. The rapid aerial maneuvers shown in the videos would also be impossible to achieve through remote control from the ground. In fact, my videos clearly show the two controllers I hold in my hands. One is a throttle controller that I built myself. The other is a commercially available controller that I bought for just over 100 yuan. It controls steering only, so it would not matter much if it were damaged, because I can also control the direction by moving my body. The throttle controller, meanwhile, regulates the rotational speed of all 10 motors. The aircraft’s flight-control chip does not participate in controlling the flight. The core of the control mechanism is the human body itself. It relies on the vestibular system, together with the eyes and brain, to perceive balance and body posture. Controlling the aircraft by leaning forward and backward is very similar to the movements used in board sports such as riding a double-kick skateboard, skiing and surfing.
极目新闻：配套训练系统在飞行和训练中发挥了怎样的作用？
Jimu News: What role does the accompanying training system play in flight and training?
宋兴宇：这套系统非常有效，作用是让感知更敏感、更高效。飞行中，真正让人难以感知的不是高频震动，反而是细微的歪斜和倾斜。比如骑自行车越慢越容易歪，有人站着会不自觉高低肩，自己却意识不到。悬停时，轻轻歪一点，系统会提醒并让人纠正，能提示身体感知不到的倾斜角度。正式飞行前，我进行了约10天训练。每次训练结束后，训练系统会收集飞行器上陀螺仪等设备监测到的数据并生成报告，显示此次左倾、右倾各占多少，便于下次针对性训练，进步很快。
Song Xingyu: This system is highly effective; it enhances the sensitivity and efficiency of the craft’s sensory perception. During flight, it is not high-frequency vibrations that are difficult to detect, but rather subtle leans or tilts. Much like how a bicycle becomes harder to balance the slower it moves, or how a person might unconsciously stand with one shoulder higher than the other—without even realizing it—this system alerts the user to even the slightest tilt while hovering, helping them make corrections for angles that the body’s own senses might otherwise miss. Before my first actual flight, I underwent approximately 10 days of training. At the end of each training session, the training system collects data recorded by onboard instruments, including gyroscopes, and generates a report. The report shows the extent of the craft’s tilt to the left and right, making it easier to identify specific areas for improvement and tailor subsequent training accordingly. This allows progress to be made quickly.
极目新闻：对于关注你的网友，你有什么想说的？
Jimu News: What do you want to say to the netizens who have been following you?
宋兴宇：我从不认为自己做了多么了不起的事情，也不认为自己是个成功者，那是一件遥远的事情。我就是一个还处在追寻状态中的人，想找到自己想要的状态、得到自己想要的作品。我不敢说能给别人什么建议，只能分享自己的经历和态度：大家一定要相信自己，理智冷静地规划，同时相信自己的能力，先找到方向，再持之以恒地投入，想要的结果也许会越来越近。
Song Xingyu: I never thought I had done anything extraordinary, nor did I consider myself a success. That’s still a long way off. I’m just someone still in the process of searching, trying to find where I want to be and create the work I want to see. I wouldn’t presume to give anyone advice and I can only share my own experience and attitude: You have to believe in yourself, plan rationally and calmly, and trust in your abilities. Find your direction first, then commit to it consistently, and the result you want will get closer and closer.
不会生产大众消费级产品
No mass-market consumer products planned
极目新闻：做这个飞行滑板的初衷是什么？
Jimu News: What was your original intention behind building this flying skateboard?
宋兴宇：起因很简单。小学三年级左右，我跟姥姥去村里医生家打针，医生家里正在放《蜘蛛侠3》，当时就觉得绿魔二代的飞行滑板太酷了，那个画面一直留在记忆里。后来，我一直喜欢这类东西，长大有能力后，刚好赶上商业合作机会，便借用赞助商StepX的赞助费把它做了出来。我做这个滑板很简单，就是小时候很想要那么一个东西。我从来没说过它多么了不起、多么厉害，硬件其实很简单，我只是做了一件自己想做的事，仅此而已，并不是什么特别了不起的技术发明。
Song Xingyu: It all started quite simply. When I was in the third grade of elementary school, my grandmother took me to the village clinic for an injection. The TV at the village clinic was playing Spider-Man 3, and I found the Green Goblin’s flying board unbelievably cool, that image has remained in my memory ever since. After that, I have always had a fascination with things like this. Now as an adult with the resources, I happened to get a brand sponsorship and brought the flying skateboard to life with the funding from the sponsor StepX. Building this skateboard was simple, I just really wanted something like that as a kid. I never claimed it was anything extraordinary or impressive. The hardware is actually quite simple. I just did something I wanted to do, that’s all. It’s not some remarkable technological invention.
极目新闻：下一步是否考虑产品化？有什么规划？
Jimu News: Will you consider turning this into a product? What are your plans?
宋兴宇：会让它更安全、更易用一些，但不会做成大众消费级产品，而更像翼装、跳伞伞包等极限运动装备。我希望世界上可以多出一件很酷的东西。我希望未来做的很多东西都可以产品化，包括之前的载人飞行翼。我想过成立公司，但目前一方面在做视频，另一方面在积攒技术和经验，时机合适时再做。这些工作同步推进，但进度比较慢。
Song Xingyu: I will make it safer and easier to use. It won’t be a mass-market consumer product, but more like wingsuits, skydiving rigs, and other extreme sports gear. I hope the world gets one more cool gadget. I hope many of the things I will build in the future can be commercialized, including the jet-powered wings I built earlier. I’ve thought about starting a company, but for now I’m focusing on creating videos while building up my technical skills and experience. I’ll do it when the timing is right. All of this is moving forward in parallel, but progress is slow.
极目新闻：飞行滑板火了之后，带给你最大的意外和改变是什么？
Jimu News: What is the biggest surprise and change the viral hit of this flying-board has brought to you?
宋兴宇：最大的意外是这个视频竟然这么火。随之而来的是各种资本、媒体机构以及家乡领导等纷纷找上门来，我的电话、微信和私信一直被填满。最让我感动的还是家乡领导。最近，他们到我家里看望了我父母，还专门赶到宜昌看望我和团队。我跟他们聊了想在家乡做点事情的想法，我说想在家乡建一个科学冒险基地，最好还有一个水上飞机码头。他们听完说：“你想在家乡做什么，我们都支持。”
Song Xingyu: The biggest surprise is that the video ended up going viral at all. After that investors, media outlets and government officials from my hometown all started reaching out. My phone, WeChat and private messages have been flooded ever since. What moved me most were the hometown officials. Recently, they visited my parents at home, and then made a special trip to Yichang to see me and my team. I told them I want to do something back home. I’d like to build a science adventure base in Badong, and ideally complete with a seaplane dock. They listened and said,“Whatever you want to do for our hometown, we’ll support you.”
