You guys, I almost peed my pants when I saw the video of this thing flying. JET PACKS! SERIOUSLY! And only $90,000. I don’t need a house or car, I’ll live in the sky.
Take a look at the site here.
And it gets better: You can be a Test Pilot! If only I could get to New Zealand and have (what I assume will be) a large amount of money.
My only concern about this model: Where do I put my groceries after a quick flight to the store?

Also don’t forget to account how many gallons that thing will hold of jet fuel. In the U.S. jet fuel is about $5-$8 a gallon.
So you figure this thing holds 5 US gallons. So that is $25-$40. Also it burns 10 gallons per hour, so every half hour you’d have to stop for fuel. It could get pretty costly >>b
My only question is: Where would you park the darn thing to even get in the store to get groceries?
Awesome but I want a more Rocketeer type Jet Pack. Even something more BobaFett-ish.
No, you just wear it into the store. You can’t chance locking your jetpack to the bike rack!
I’m pretty sure if i had a jet pack, i would more worried about how awesome i look and less worried worry the over time cost.
e.g.
coolness >> fuel cost
