a plane or a helicopter?
Still not sure this is for real...
Big thinkers perhaps, but not makers.

Reminds me a lot of the Moller Skycar. That turned out to be vapourware!DaddyHoggy wrote:Still not sure this is for real...

I hope that's not the one which was tested by the Mythbusters and failed miserably...Lestradae wrote:

I read up on that, you mean Mythbusters Episode 32: Jetpack - they did investigate a rumour that it was possible to build a jetpack with 10k$ and info from the internet - and failed.
The Martin Jet Pack people seem to stem from a little firm that (according to their website) has been working on this for three decades. I am curious what will come out of it - the steep price of about 100000$ forbids any self-experimentation, at least for my purse

Re: ..
Right, the question is if it even classifies as a jet pack, no jets being involved. I found out about it just a few days ago, must say if this ever becomes a real option moneywise ... I'll try that out.Ahruman wrote:Ah yes, the famous Martin Ducted Fannypack.Lestradae wrote:

ARE YOU GUYS JOKING?
It's only problem is that it needs a 44 ton, not tonne, truck of fuel connected to alow it to fly for more than a useless purpose.
I would bet my fat belly could run farther and longer than your personnel jet.
Unless of course you have a trade name of 007 or Dr Who with a capital D.
