Batteries have a much lower energy density. Battery powered flight only works for extremely small and lightweight aircraft.

Thats a big unit! Uses gas? Very interesting that all the people that are working on that unit can't make it smaller. Why not use electric motors instead.?

What if... You mixed this invention with the Dyson fan invention. A jetpack that flies quietly, has no blades. Oh and doesn't make that buffeting sound :D

[2011-07-07 14:57:00] wontnott - I've been looking ...

I've been looking these things up on the net for years. But this is the real first test flight I've seen that holds real promise. Progress is just too slow though. If they can get 400 people in the air with a 747 jet...can't they get 'one' person in the air?...

[2011-07-05 21:08:56] RealBeria - на видео с ...

на видео с движущимся в ангере jetpack, постояно приходит на ум мысль, что без двух тросов и подвеса не обошлось ;-)

@EveryoneIsBoring It has a parachute, it's more dangerous to fly a helicopter.

[2011-06-16 08:36:23] harrisonaard1 - Great stuff! this ...

Great stuff! this looks like by far the best VTOL craft, personal or otherwise that I've seen whilst trawling through you tube. Wouldn't  a rotary engine have a better p/w ratio?

[2011-06-11 15:21:58] seriousninja - What CAD modeling ...

What CAD modeling software did you used to model it? 

[2011-06-10 17:02:19] McJackolai - that would be funny ...

that would be funny as hell if our borders were protected by dudes in jet packs lol

slow humans , but dont feel bad .u do awsome work . thumbs up

[2011-06-09 01:24:52] 60knightsix - 30 minutes? ...

30 minutes? Impractical. How will you fuel it? I don't seem to see fueling stations located every 30 minutes in any direction, and you won't be able to carry additional fuel. Makes a hell of a lot of noise also...I don't believe any user will be instantly welcomed when dropping into Aunt Bessie's tea party . So, another rich toy for the backyard. Knightsix

[2011-06-02 15:56:47] JackBauerwashere - Guys if there are ...

Guys if there are people who will buy this first generation of jet pack ,the company will develop even better jet packs .The size of of it will decrease and the efficiency will increase ..in 3 decades everyone will have the abilty to buy such.

[2011-06-02 00:48:16] martingutierrez123 - Awesome!!!!!!
