The First Practical Jetpack
From the NewYork Times via Boing Boing comes news of the very first "practical" jet pack. Practical because its the first to have a flight time of more than 20 seconds. A much more stable platform and flight dynamics. Higher flight ceiling and how hard it is to learn to fly. Glenn Martin, spent 27 years developing the devices, said he hoped to begin selling them next year. First units out the door will cost apx 100k. Hey, cheaper than a flight on StarShip 1!
Click here for a film showing the unit in " teathered " flight.
