Your Jet Pack is now ready. The future is finally here.... Sort of....

of course its $86,000 and its not actually available today but will be soon. And of course its not really a Jet pack but a 2 ducted prop personal helicopter

It runs on a 4 cyl 2stroke gas fuel engine and gives you about 30 mins of flight . On board redundancy's try to keep you from dieing.
