The "Flymo" has been around since the early 80s at least.

Believe it or not? I don't. Anyone who knows anything about
aeronautics knows that you have to have a lifting surface (wing-like
shape) to get things to fly. I did not see any such surface in the
video. And although the handle could be used as a horizontal/verticle
stabilizer, the surface area is not large enough to be as maneuverable
as the video shows.

I think they used to say that given enough power, you could fly a barn door:
