Martin Aircraft: Putting the 'Segway' Back in 'Jetpack'
- Thread starter Scott Bullock
- Start date
The thing isn't exactly portable. I mean what are you gonna do? Will you fly it to a location and walk around with it strapped to your back, or just had your $100,000 flying machine to the valet at walmart while you get the single bag of items likely allowed by weight restrictions.
I don't think the average fatass will ever even get off the ground in one of these things anyway lol

First holographic pop stars, the ability to project holographic messages a la Star Wars and now jet packs.Irridium said:
It's good to live in the 21st century.
The jetpack transport times are getting near. Im sure there will be no problem in making automatized systems that would make it safe.
Well, shit, the server blipped and nuked my longer post, so more simply:
SWEEEEET.
60mph for a half hour is perfectly enough for most commutes if nothing else, and it wouldn't need massive recharge times unlike an electric one. Just get GPS guidance to the nearest gas station (and fill it up with diesel, if I'm not mistaken?). It'd do me fine - to and from work in 10 minutes, straight line, rather than 35+ wiggling through indirect, traffic choked roads. Even my bike which knocks 10 mins off that itself can't go much over 65mph.
It'd take me about 10 years to save up for it from my current position now though
and that money will likely have to go on a house instead. Dyer think the bank will front me a loan when I'm likely to die at the controls?
Now will they make us a nausicaa-style air scooter to go with? (Faster in a straight line, can glide if the engine quits...)
