Title: Hey, remember the 'jetpack' from a few years back?
Post by: Telarus on May 30, 2011, 05:26:46 AM
They've just recently accomplished a 5,000 ft+ test flight and parachute deployment (unmanned, obviously, as it's the first ever parachute controlled decent of a 'jetpack' EVER).

Awesome.

My first question is, when is the first human flight test?

And then of course my second is, how many of these are the US government going to purchase?  :lulz:
