@ssimon64 Yeah, ok, show me another REAL jetpack that can actually do this. This isnt the future yet. its a relatively new thing to have personal flight machines.
Hello Gabriel, thank you for your interest in SkyLifter
There is nothing small about airships so we think they are only practical for mass transport - several hundred people at a time, and it will be many years until you see this as a common aircraft
in the meantime, have a look at this web-link below - note, technically it is not a jetpack, it is a proppack
Cheers
SkyLifter | flying 150 tonnes of anything, anywhere
My name is Gabriel I am from Romania and have discovered your engineering beauty by looking for a better way to "go around" , a replacement for the common car!(be it 2x4 or 4x4).
Will you build a small model for public transportation in the near future?
I asked SKYLIFTER about doing a minimum small version for one individual of their BIG,150 tons lifter wich would be the ideal aircraft for moving around!
You never have to "land" a SKYLIFTER it's actually a ZEPPELIN in a saucer shape!This is what they told me and that's why I am here!
But at 10 gallons per hour and 30 miles range, this jetpack is going nowhere!
I often wonder WHY don't they invest and build THE PRACTICAL AND CHEAP THINGS...
@badanski personal experimental helicopter will be 50,000 dlls regular helicopter 150,000 to 400,000 if they make those things for under 10,000 for private use, will be a good business,
Increasing flight time would require fuel cells or something else that's very power dense and efficient. In the future, if the US decides to restart its nuclear reactor R&D, you could envision things like mini fission-breeders, but these would be a bit on the excessive side even for something like this. You'd need to work out how to shield the pilot from neutron and gamma radiation, but the payoff would be a jetpack that could work non-stop for decades without refueling.
most jet engines are fuel hogs with only minutes of airtime. this uses ducted fans and what looks like vectored thrust controls. Pretty good effort considering what it takes to control it. Now to increase flight time. Good show guys!!
Ah... did wonder if that was a real person flying it till i read the description properly... then i thought fuck that that thing is gonna hit the ground like a stone... if that was a real person they'd be dead!
now that we have quadrocopter this doesn't seem very impressive... well the only difference is that quadrocopters use electric motors which are dann easy to control... unlike something which uses an IC engine...
ohh and I suspect the inertia of the engine is a serious problem too
now that we have quadrocopter this doesn't seem very impressive... well the only difference is that quadrocopters use electric motors which are damn easy to control... unlike something which uses an IC engine...
ohh and I suspect the inertia of the engine is a serious problem too
People complaining that it does not look like a JetPack, but I ask a question: what is the purpose of a JetPack? make coffee? a JetPack and a flying object like this do the same thing: FLY. Now, I'm sorry if you can fly through the power of the mind. Because, to complain about such an incredible machine, you need to make better!
The real jetpack that was in production in the '70's would work, but the flight is limited to 30 second bursts, which would probably limit the height and g-force limitations of a trip to that altitude. I think Jet turbines qualify as a jet pack. Beautiful footage from the air.
I can just imagine the future looking back at us like...."What the fuck?! They called that a jetpack xD" kinda like how we look back at the first flyers
what if instead of flying cars people mostly use these things!....... well in the future
