Video: Jetpack flies among the clouds, shatters all sorts of records

This isn't really a jet-pack. It's a shrouded-fan flight pack, if anything. It is very cool and we'll probably see it being used in rescues, etc., in the next few years.

Id like one smaller and faster, like the one in "The Rocketeer"... remember that movie? That would be something to buy!.

You guys edited out the touch down! It might have been fun...

I'm still waiting for my George Jetson car with the appropriate sound effect.

$100K? That's cheap when you realize that that water jet pack is selling for $90k! An additional $10K and you can get a real jetpack!

Sounds like the world's loudest leaf blower - I hope these never 'take off'.

does a great song ... Where the F*** is my jetpack?

Sell it to the military, i heard they love buying junk. They has to spend that budget money, before the end of the fiscal year ends.

Hello?!

More like a heli pack or a copter pack, or is it a chopper pack? Anyway.... Way to go James Bond.

Great, now, jet-packers can get hit by low flying aircraft, and spy into Sarah Palin's backyard. Fantastic...

I saw a "Rocketeer" fly across the Astrodome In about 1967, and was WAY higher than 50 feet--more like 350. Probably was a peroxide-powered version. Max flight time about 60 seconds.

Agreed, this is not a jetpack, more like a "Ducted-fan" Pack. Still, if we get more flight time, it's pretty cool.

Gee what great fun! I'd love to be the dummy for the next flight. My wife is more than happy to volunteer me.
