For $76,000.00 plus tax, and any shipping and handling.

Cute. Can’t wait to see these in the next James Bond flick.

But for $76,000 I’d rather have a good used Cessna so I could actually go somewhere and take family, friends and baggage.

But it’s still pretty cool.

I could imagine that there will be some hearing loss with the engines adjacent to the pilots head.

Ducted fans powered by a 2.0 L V4 2 stroke engine rated at 200 hp (150 kw), 6000 rpm max. At least something like this won’t happen:

Jet-powered wingsuits are pretty cool too:

So no flame outs that’s good

Of course everyone could just go Buzz Lightyear for cheaper

I would like to take one of the individual “rockets” and shove it up Algores ass with about 10 gallons of fuel strapped to his chest and back… Adios turd face.

76,000 dollars to fly for about 30 seconds of flight time, huh…boy, that sounds like a steal and a deal at 2,250 dollars a second – sign me up!

30 sec.

Wow, I didn’t catch that. You’d crash before you could make it to the 711 for that sixer.

I actually do not know if it is 30 seconds – I am assuming based upon the typcial flight time of other devices on the market, past and present, which typically have a 30 or so second flight time.

Upon further research, they are CLAIMING half an hour of flight time. But as someone who works in R&D, I can safely wager that you could, at the very least, cut that figure by 1/4 to be more accurate (and safe).
