From CNN:
"Hollywood has envisioned jet packs as upside-down fire extinguishers strapped to people's backs. But Glenn Martin's invention is far more unwieldy -- a 250-pound piano-sized contraption that people settle into rather than strap on. As thousands looked on Tuesday, the inventor's 16-year-old son donned a helmet, fastened himself to a prototype Martin jet pack and revved the engine, which sounded like a motorcycle. Harrison Martin eased about three feet off the ground, the engine roaring with a whine so loud that some kids covered their ears."

I ordered mine just yesterday. They have a few bugs to work out but I have faith they'll get it right.
 
I think I prefer the upside-down fire extinguishers :)
 
Looks Nice still pretty far from the every day standard jet pack :)
 
Lots of stories were using the phrase "human jet pack", so [naturally] I looked into reg'ing that phrase as a dot-com (in both singular and plural). DomainTools showed that both were available. A few minutes later, I tried to reg them both, and the singular was already gone ... :angry:

(I got the plural; also got the singular and plural of "cheap jet pack" dot-com. In a few years, that'll be a popular consumer item, right??)
 
Very cool. I want one!

Too bad it doesn't have a longer range. Apparently it has to have a maximum fuel capacity of 5 gallons to be classified as an ultralight.
