It’s no joke, you aren’t back to the future! Pretty soon, you can do as what your childhood hero, Mr Superman, always does – flying in the sky.
Gadgets that could fly you in the sky don’t sound new to me. But every time I heard of it, it would always let me know its release date would actually be few years or more later, such as the flying vehicle that we’ve seen before. Jetpack International is working on a turbine-powered personal jetpack, which sounds pretty promising as its release date is December 11 this year.
So, it’s a only couple of months away from us, then we could experience flying in the sky. Of course, it doesn’t let you fly freely as what your super hero does. This personal jetpack’s got some limitations such as an estimated flight time of 19 minutes, with a range of 27 miles at a maximum altitude of 250 feet. The good side is it runs on cheap and easily available jet fuel.
For the price, it’s definitely not cheap. It carries a price tag of $200,000, which includes training course. So, you’ve gotta be pretty rich then only your flying dream will come true. Perhaps, there might be some companies would be interested to offer renting the flying jetpack for a rate of couple of hundred dollars for few minutes.
