Looks like the engine doesnt really have any kind of muffler, but piping to get the exhaust gasses away from the pilot and the air stream of the propulsion,
It's not unreasonable to think he is lying about governments and their military approaching him. He is probably saying this to get governments interested in this so they all buy it, fearing a "jetpack" gap. God help us is the Russians or the Chinese get an entire fleet of these
That thing is so slow and loud and bulky for any military use, The US Army just srapped a droid that was flew this way. Now the swiss Rocketman has something coming, only he needs to build a harrier type version of it.
Absolutely terrible. The noise pollution must be deafening. What a grim future that awaits us, if its a bunch of assholes racing around in contraptions like this. The airborne equivalent of a fucking jet ski :-((((
LOL border patrol?! and who wants to test the parachute??

While this thing might be fun to make and fly, UAVs beat jetpacks hands down.

Ok, so I've finally seen it more than a few meters off the ground - i.e. its not just a ground effect vehicle. Nice one.

After this thing has been airborne for 20 yrs I would buy one.

imagine for one sec, free energy cell powering electric turbine (more power) and you would fly for ever.

@cyberdub Ever see those packs of helium ballons at the grocery store? All in a mess together at the ceiling?
The traffic jam of the future.

@dangermous1968 That's fine as long as the parachute isn't a Chinese knock-off too.
