This Jet Pack is cute
but for $90,000 it would want to be.
"The jetpack is made from carbon fiber, with a touch of kevlar in the rotors, and generates 600lbs of thrust. Because the center of gravity is below the “center of thrust” (a notional point between the engines), it is self-righting: if the pilot lets go of the controls, he hovers steadily in one spot. Unlike other sci-fi vehicles, the jetpack doesn’t require plutonium or even garbage for power. Instead, it runs on ordinary gasoline, chugging down around 10 gallons per hour (a full tank of five gallons will give you half an hour of flight time, enough to get you to the office)."
Is this a sign of things to come? You think these will be common place in the future?
