I agree, it's not what I *thought* a jet pack would be, but if you go to the website and look at their definition of a jet, you'll see that "jet" is not a clearly defined word in terms of the technology. This qualifies as a jet pack by one definition.

One of the reasons this works is that you can carry around more fuel than any jet pack, and it has a slower rate of consumption.

Mythbusters was looking at online plans (build your own send ME $29.95)

Depending on cost/production/ease of use, I could see this going from "toy" to practicle use in various fields.

Can we see some footage of this thing cruising around at 8000 feet?

Here's two guys holding up another guy. Well rattle my bones, what a miracle.

Also, it's kind of a bummer that engine failure at 8,000 feet = certain death, unlike most other flying machines where engine failure = a controlled descent to the ground.

And how much does it cost to power this thing? Probably considerably more than any other, safer form of transport. I'm calling a fail on this.]]>Jul 29th 2008 2:06PM
