According Le Parisien, the army had decided to grant a grant of 1,3 million euros to its inventor in order to perfect his futuristic aircraft. Ironically, in 2017, Franky Zapata had been summoned by the gendarmes who had served him the ban to use his device in the creeks west of Marseille, under penalty of prosecution.
