At a base price of $380K, I don't think I will be signing up - not that I think it will actually be available to the public in my lifetime, anyway.

I thought I'd try to pre-order one for a laugh, but they want ten grand up front right here right now.
One of the FAQ
Apparently O2 is a pill you put in your vehicle's tank for extra performance. You'd need a tank the size of a filing cabinet to achieve 15,000 feet surely?
Exciting, though.

That is going to be a severe limitation to the usefulness of the thing I saw on their site that you can have jetpack lessons at their facility, for the bargain price of sixty thousand dollars |

It runs out of fuel? This is nothing more than a toy for a very rich person and even so, it doesn't look like they will get their money's worth. How many times have we seen this shit of future looking ideas they say are happening now only then they just go away?

It doesn't sound very safe, does it, that fuel only lasts for 10 to 22 minutes? There's better be a very good early warning system, otherwise people will be dropping from the sky all the time.

I'll just build one myself. It'll be just as illegal and unsafe, but it'll cost me a lot less.

I'd rather just make one of these. Seems a lot cheaper.

I'm surprised they were honest about the time limit but nothing on there about weight restrictions. I suppose with that kind of device and engine it will be burning up a lot of fuel real fast so yeah, I can see it running low or out of gas in that short amount of time. Your trips will be very limited and each one will have to include a gas stop. Which they didn't show in the cartoon video. LOL Doesn't look like one will get their monies worth or that it will be a lot of fun. More like an expensive bragging rights toy up until you ask the owner how long he can ride around on it and he has to confess.

Yes please... I would like to send you $10,000 because you have spent half an hour making a half arsed computer graphic of something that doesn't exist.
I noted in the small print that this does not mean we have entered in to a contract for you to actually supply me with any vehicle at all whatsoever, but who reads those anyway.
Yes I am over 18, but my IQ isn't.
Now, where's that email I got from that Nigerian Prince asking for my bank details because I have won the Nigeria lottery...

So far their claim to fame is a jetpack that can fly around the Statue of Liberty. Why aren't they making those? Jetpacks and Statue of Liberty's? Probably because then no one would believe them. "We got the Statue of Liberty for sale. Act now and we will throw in the Liberty Bell at a mad discount!"
