Twin Turbo Jet Pack from German aerospace companies
It’s hard to imagine a situation in which I would not want one of these. It would have been awesome back when I was commuting over 50 miles in Southern California – in those days, I wanted a personal airship – but since this jet pack is meant for parachutists and doesn’t allow you to take off from your driveway, I guess it wouldn’t have been the perfect solution.
Anyway it’s amazing; two small engines power what’s otherwise a glider that allows a parachutist to travel up to 200 kilometers through the air after leaping out of an airplane at 33,000 feet. (An unpowered version promises 50 kilometers of travel, and is quite a bit lighter, to boot).
Since the powered version weighs at least 80 pounds we’re looking at a new upside to having special forces paratroopers invade us, wherever we happen to be – they’ll probably have to leave their awesome jetpacks behind. Woot!

I would like to start off saying that it is easer than everyone would like to think. I personaly helped develop the a jet pack that a certian company uses as a promotioal device. But the owner nicknamed “the weasel” would not even admit i even woked for his companies. Right Troy. But if god willing i will develop my own jetpack using my own personal design that address all of the problems descussed above. Including lift from standing position, type of fuel, fuel consumption,etc. Just for the sole reason to put in troy’s face. The main problem with any jetpack is funding. If you want to keep your ideas
you will have to develop it all on your own. I will play with the name but i was thinking of “go fasster” Ha Ha Ha He He. Seriously with all the advancements going on today with jetengins. This could happen sonner than you may think. And know you dont have to use a super volaital fuel that makes you a flying bomb. Just think of the princapals along the lines of a jet itself. Besides that anyting is possable with the right amount of money. Wish me luck if you want but i wont need it.

look you have to be crazy to think that someone would be dumb enuff to give out the details on a true “jetpack” not a rocketpack. The materals are pritty commen
carbonfiber, aluminum, etc. The pack weight itself is the biggest problem and i solved it for my design. The thing is if you expect to sell , or want people to buy a actual funcitioning “jetpack” it would have to be alot safer that what is out there today. And if people knew that just watching a jetpack take off and land could put their lives at risk, if an mixture is off or anything goes wrong the explosion would be huge. I gess that is why troy changed the fuel in his. So sorry but no i will not send info like that. Besides with a question like that, you ethier know troy or this is troys attempt to steel other ideas. like he does, did and will always try to do. just like he did with skysystems ltd product designs when he owed it.
