Where are you going to go with only 10min. of use out of this contraption. Wouldn't be illegal to fly around town with a jet pack anyways, or atleast without some sort of license and certification to fly.

from the website http://skywalkerjets.com/wst_page4.html


Orders are currently being accepted for the jet pack system. Before we can sell jet packs, we must meet any F.A.A. requirements. This process could take one to two years to complete. During this time we will be improving on the safety features, and operating systems. One issue that must be taken into account is the weight of the pilot. The jet pack with a seven gallon tank of fuel can lift a maximum of of 208 lbs. The final production model will increase this weight to about 224 lbs. The other factor is weather and altitude of the place of operation. For example, if you are in Boulder Colorado, the lift will be reduced due to the air being thinner there than say, Rhode Island.

If you are interested in purchasing a Jet pack, you must meet the following criteria.



1. Be a legal citizen of the United States of America, and pass a back ground check. Foreign orders must be authorized by the U.S. government, and the government of the purchaser.



2. You will be required to attend a one week training course on the operation of the jet pack. The course will include lecture, and actual flight instruction.



3. Jet packs will be sold as first come first serve. A $100,000 deposit will be required to reserve your position on the order list. At present, the total price for the jet pack will be $200,000. If the orders grow too rapidly, the price will increase to keep the orders down to a reasonable level. However, if you reserve a jet pack at a set price, you will retain that price.

Anyone else notice the guy cannot spell?

Would you trust someone that can't spell to build something like this?

Just a thought

No is my answer, maybe the next Uber scientific project I do ill disregard a good spell checker to.

Its a Hoax, the unit has no real instermentation required to monitor this so called High Tech Fling device. I looked at the Web page and all I saw was a BS Page.

I love all the little Micky Mouse switches and lacking any real insterments.
