JB-9 Personal Jetpack | By Jetpack Aviation

$TBA

We’ve used to think of JetPack as something that we only see in James Bond or other action movies, but the fact is that it’s very real and not that impossible to afford. JB-9 Personal Jetpack By Jetpack Aviation is the next awesome thing you simply must have.

When it comes to a gadget like this one, the biggest concern is fuel capacity. Obviously you don’t want to run out of fuel when you’re high in the air. With the JB-9 Personal Jetpack, you don’t have to worry about that. This amazing flying machine is packed with 10 gallons of fuel. According to David Mayman, one of the creators, this will give you approximately 10 minutes of flight. Of course, don’t forget that the weight of the pilot is an important factor when it comes to fuel consumption.

Regarding the altitude, this amazing JetPack can go up to 10,000 feet in the air. The jet turbine is capable of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) at a speed greater than 100 mph. You can fit it in the backseat of the car and take it with you, wherever you go.

The people from JetPack Aviation spent over 25 years on this incredible project and finally, JetPack is a reality. Of course, there are some more features to be perfected, such as parachutes and flight endurance, but still, this is a cutting edge achievement. Price is still to be estimated, but very soon this awesome gadget will hit the market, at least we hope that it will. [via] watch video below
