Well Charlie mentioned jet packs in another thread which reminded me that some of Rupe's cousins are working on a revoltionary new jet pack. |

Solotrek made on similar but they went out of business. It looks like this flight was still in ground effect, which is "easy". Edit: Apparently Solotrek is still in business but it doesn't look like they've done anything for five years. I check up on these every so often: Moller: I think they are really close to bankruptcy. http://moller.com/dev/ Urbanaero: http://www.urbanaero.com FanWing: I like this one http://www.fanwing.com CarterCopters: This one actually flies, unlike all the others: http://www.cartercopters.com |

They have been able to make working ones since the 60s. They all suffer the same issue though, engine failure=death And it is the hurdle that IMO will always stop commercial production |

Yea, I would rather have an exosuit. Something with airbags in case of engine failure... |
