    Yeah, even Moller himself is about ready to throw his hat at it. Power to weight ratio's can be a cruel mistress.

    The Martin jetpack isn't really a jetpack, but it does seem to have control figured out. Far more efficient then relying on jet/rocket thrust. I wonder what the top speed is.

    Edit: Top speed is 63mph, endurance is 30 mins. For $100,000... well, it'd be great fun :D
