Jetpacks are finally a reality, but it will still be a while before public release.

Damn right that the lyrics are NSFW, but damn that made me laugh, Thanks.

just youtube any of Tim Wilson's songs. All of them are amazing. My personal favorite would be "I could be wrong". He sums up my feelings towards pretty much everything in this world.

[Beskamir]

Wow, I can imagine all the youtubers who will be selling their swegways to buy one of these

 

Seriously, I want one though

Next time on Channel Super Fun, Nicky V teaches you how to properly cosplay as Boba Fett.

[Mushious]

Did everyone suddenly forget that Martin Jetpacks are a thing? "First" my ass.

[ConnorDahne]

I can't have a quad copter with registering it, I don't believe this will ever be commercially viable.
We have to cater to dumbest person in the room, because they're the one that's likely to hurt someone else with it.

[dragoon20005]

If you think that is cool, look at this.

 

omg its Buzz Lightyear in the flash

[You_are_a_cunt]

Time to boot up my Pip-Boy and oil up my Power Armor I suppose. Wheeeeee

[Admiral Naismith]

I really can't figure out how they did that. I would have bet my house that they would have been pulled into the vortices.

The vortices are so strong on big aircraft like that that smaller planes get pulled toward them.

Unless there was some sort of clever camera tricks, I doubt how real that video is.

[DigitalHermit]

I'm not a fan of the design... I liked the one on the Emirates video better...

Edit: for stunts of course... I'd gladly trade VTOL capability for faster flight...

behnd the scenes  thing, I havent personally watched it myself.

From the looks of it they are being smart with the camera to make them look closer than they are... But still that takes some serious balls.

[Epse]

I would shoot aerial footage with that 

[ShadowCaptain]

While this one does seem like one of the best so far, its FAR from the first there have been SO many jetpacks over the years dating back to the 50s!!!

 

However, this one seems extremely well designed! so would be way more viable as a genuine off the shelf product

[deviant88]

Last thing we need is drunk red necks flying with jetpacks freely all over the place, or fat idiots...

At least people wont be sitting in the traffic trying to get to work we will land on the building directly and get to work right away.

Would be nice but costs too much and too many dangers since its the human factor in the middle, they will be piloting so except for fun and/or maybe rescue operations maybe? in limited scenarios, these are pointless expensive toys.

There is a behind the sceens video showing how they did that. It is real. Not faked. 

(Removed, someone beat me to it, damn you @Nexxus)

They had to stay behind the jet at all times and had direct radio links to the pilot in case anything went wrong.

[Mitrailleuse]

on what fuel does it run?

[Sauron]

Good luck regulating it in a way that doesn't completely defeat the purpose ^^

[WereCat]

dont think they will ever be commercially available.. way too dangerous, not just for the pilot

Dangerous? Pffff... are you kidding me? This is totaly sa.... AAAAH I AM OUT OF FUEL!

 

Really nice jetpack. I wish I could try it for a few minutes at least 

[zacRupnow]

So there's a redneck company that make ammo specifically for Drones, and it sells well. How il this going to be taken between stupid users getting the product in trouble (like flying drones near airports gets controvesy about drones instead of just getting the individual pilot in trouble) and conservative morons saying that only terrorists will use them. Sad to say it but these will not be around for consumers until there aren't any religious crazies, which, I estimated, will take at least 400 years for modernized counties.

It sucks that stupid people ruin everything for the people that can be sensible.
