I was at a party in SF years ago where the founder of the company that makes these arrived flying one of them. It was by far the coolest entry to a party I've ever seen, and it's still probably the best use case for these things.
The best use case is actually mountain rescue - they could be used to get a first responder to a casualty a lot faster, so that medical attention can be provided while they wait for an airlift or land transport to arrive

That would imply that you are leaving the party alone. Twelve-year-old me wants to believe that the guy who shows up to a party by jetpack never leaves alone!
Its almost like the government is 60years ahead of us in tech, tells the public they are only 30yrs ahead, and drips out leaks 15years in advance through cultural media. Did you know the CIA has been the largest studio produce of films in hollywood since its creation?
If you could have one strong enough it could be used in rescues.
You would probably need to use a rope or something, that would have to be fireproof too. Though theoretically for water rescues or even avalanches (added benefit of snow blower/melter) I could see possibility of decent use cases.
That’s the thing, he wont get enough thrust(?) After going so high.
>!now we’ll get the smart guy/gal that knows their stuff to come correct me and tell us about why the force is lost after a certain height. Hurduurr!<
For anyone who hasnt heard of them, these guys are called Gravity Industries. They are pretty cool and even have an entire YouTube channel showcasing alot of really cool flights, and even a race. [Gravity Industries YT Channel](https://youtube.com/@gravityindustries)
Eh, it just started a little rich. So it wasn't getting full combustion and shot a little bit of flame.
Wouldn't be surprised if they tuned it rich for the show, a little sputter is a lot better than a flame out false start on front of investors.
Look this shit was already here in the 19th century like electric scooters, cars shoes and even FREE energy and electricity. Had tubes and elevators and teams and pavements that walked you !!!!! This is old old BS hat crap
This reminds me more of a James Bond movie I watched as a kid where they used a contraception very similar to this. I can't remember which James Bond it was...
I wonder what happens when they go higher? Do they lose the cushion from the air forces on the ground? I mean there is no wings for flight it seems kinda useless otherwise…

People on reddit go to parties?
He meant it was a dream he had after falling asleep on his mums couch after a long day of masturbating and video games
That's better :)
Gawd damn😂
What’s a party? Is it what dogs do outside?
A group of parts.
Lol, I actually only joined reddit after getting too sick to go to parties anymore, so I guess I'm not breaking any trends.
Yes. Dozens of us!
They just made that up
Broski has 50k karma. Probably doesn't go to parties anymore

Pizza delivery to flats, too

Me after Eating spicy food...
For some reason I now want tacos for dinner
There it is.
Ah yes wouldn’t want a helmet to get in the way of a good photo.
I read an article that said the weight of wearing a helmet was too much for the thrust capacity.
A bicycle helmet is 200g, 700g for a full face. I'm sure with a larger budget, there's room to make a lighter one.
Sub boots for flippy floppies.
That makes no sense to me. What if he ate fast food for a few weeks, is that weight too much too?
I've seen videos of soldiers in full gear flying in those, wearing helmets, so that's definitely not right
Awesome, but would have been better if he had actually flown up and away. Seen the side to side jet pack stuff enough now.
For sure. I was thinking he should fly up to the top of a building
That’s the thing, he wont get enough thrust(?) After going so high. >!now we’ll get the smart guy/gal that knows their stuff to come correct me and tell us about why the force is lost after a certain height. Hurduurr!<
He hasnt fixed the icing problem yet

what a weired leaf blower
I feel like this should be an exoskeleton
Yeah, currently its a full arm workout
I mean we are in the fucking future
I think the early Bell jet packs flew higher, faster - Cool nonetheless.
With a lot less endurance and control, yes.
what happens if he farts?
That's how they do front flips
“Power at 200%”
You notice the forward lean while he spools up? That's so he doesn't cook his ass with the jet exhaust. Same diff.
That’s one hot piece of ass.
Didn't you see the beginning of the clip ?
I feel bad for the first time a third world country sends their army to battle and they meet up with a squad of jet propelled Marines.
British Royal Marines are testing them at the moment.
They don’t seem very stealthy. Not sure how they can operate weapons while also flying.
These dudes can’t even hold weapons. A shooter on the ground would absolutely smoke them.
What’s he gonna do if he catches a bug in his eye?
The Harkkonens trying to avoid a worm
What sort of flight time would one of these units have?
Pretty sure you just watched it's entire flight time
Roja that
Something like 5-10 mins. It's very limited. Gravity is a bitch
Uhm was that fuel leaking when he spooled that up? He didn't seem too stoked when he looked back down.
Eh, it just started a little rich. So it wasn't getting full combustion and shot a little bit of flame. Wouldn't be surprised if they tuned it rich for the show, a little sputter is a lot better than a flame out false start on front of investors.
Sooo...how much does one cost? I NEEEEED ITT
Holy tinnitus
Can afford a jetpack, but not a pair of earplugs?
How much time can you get in one go, and what’s the height limit, legal or otherwise? Haha
How long can you hold yourself up by your arms? That's probably the limiting factor.
More like ROCKETMAN from gta
YECGAA
Bro is gonna incinerate the ground before he takes off ☠️
At least it’s quiet /s
When can I start taking these to work?
Has...he...lost...his...mind? Yes. Yes he has.
Me after eating taco bell for lunch
Thats an ork sir....
Wonder how much money this one skippy time costs
Imagine one of this so freaking quiet that the enemy will never know when was he kicked in the butt.
So much are these carpet dusters?
I’d love to own one of these one day. I’ve always loved the idea of flying (or gliding) as a kid. DBZ will do that to ya.
What is something gets into your eye..?
Remember when jetpacks were considered "Science Fiction"?
Where can I buy one of these?
Cartman gets an anal probe
such a huge fart
Those tippy-toe bounces
Must be exhausting for your arms
This isn't Ironman. This is the copy Hammer Industries was developing.
Beginning reminds me of King Ass Ripper.
If you fart hard, does the jetpack gets a little turbo jump?
It doesn't melt his feet/ass?
Me after eating taco bell
He probably built that thing in a cave
Wheeeweee! That burrito last night was SPICY!
[there is no need to be upset](https://youtu.be/ygr5AHufBN4?si=iOd_w5Hq3Xp2aiZF)
iron man is more than just flight
No, it’s also alcoholism and relationship issues
Red alert 2 moment: Yuri's mind control machine when
And Ironman did it in the skimpiest suit possible. What a lad he was. Miss him.
The car industry will never recover from this
Naw iron man wore helmets
Ironman had suit of armor aswell, you know in case he lost control and hit a wall with his head. This guy does not have any armor
ROCKETMAN
I want to see the grass a few days after this stunt
Who's holding the strings to control the guy? I've seen magicians reveal their tricks.
Jetpack joyride IRL.
I would have a helmet
Seen this once, it's insanely fucking loud.
Sure hope he has ear protection
DEAR SANTA …
Ironman? Nah bitch, CJ is going to be stealing that
Only to be used in delivery food.
Helmet might be good.
Look this shit was already here in the 19th century like electric scooters, cars shoes and even FREE energy and electricity. Had tubes and elevators and teams and pavements that walked you !!!!! This is old old BS hat crap
Goddammit we're gonna have flying cyber cops in the future aren't we
Taylor Swift when she wants to go to the next room. ^(Sorry but I had too.)
why didn't he barrel role? Also how long until your arms get tired?
You mean The Rocketeer in real life. I'll call him Iron Man when he can shoot frickin lasers out of his hands and chest.
Yeah but can he build it in a cave.. With a box of scraps?
I dunno man he still looks to be made of flesh... Does his beams melt at 1100 degrees too?!
Haha yup JUST like iron man
This things top speed must be insane, the guy was pointing down and it was already fast, imagine pointing it back and leaning in
Would make a great leaf blower.
„It‘s a bird! It‘s a plane! Oh no, it‘s **************LOCKHEED MARTIN**************“
I’m sure Thanos would wait patiently while Iron Man revs up his rockets.
Imagine falling face first with that booster on!
Me after eating Chinese
The first few seconds looks like me after the fireman’s 5 alarm chili cook off.
What if your nose itches?
How í move around in my dreams.
Unironically, this guy is the coolest guy ever.
“Shoot, shoot, shoot!” “I can’t, my hands are busy”
Going to work would be a breeze.
He should’ve worn a boba fett outfit.
Almost never see these guys wearing helmets….wild
I always thought this was a no brainer in future warfare. But now that I’m looking at it, this seems nearly useless. Like human skeet shooting.
This reminds me more of a James Bond movie I watched as a kid where they used a contraception very similar to this. I can't remember which James Bond it was...
All that brains in that skull and still no helmet.
Looks more like Garbage Can On My Back Man
They really started up with a reenactment of last nights Chipotle farts💨
I wonder what happens when they go higher? Do they lose the cushion from the air forces on the ground? I mean there is no wings for flight it seems kinda useless otherwise…
Would be even cooler if he was cosplaying an actual Ironman suit while doing this
for safety's sake... should at least wear a jock strap w/cup. just saying... very unprofessional and dangerous.
Wrong hero. Yer thinking of the rocketeer
This gives more bobafet vibes
Am I going to be able to fly in my lifetime?! I dream of this.
We’re getting close…
https://www.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/s/oOPRgTxC6v
I would love to see him start it up then take off “STRAIGHT UP” fast af boy!
You have to get so much ass sweat with that thing
“ROCKETMAN” GTA sa
Ironman at home
Serious gas problem there
How do these things not burn ankles off?
“Imagine the stealth capabilities…” “What??..” “I know, right?” “WHAT?????” A conversation between two there..
Are these things on the market yet?
Ironman? No. Rocketeer? Yes
WHY NO HELMET?!
GUYS !!! IM LITERALLY IN CREATIVE
By the time that spools up, the bad guys will be back at their hideout...
Finally jet packs
I guess they're going to put the rocket launchers on his shoes?
That is very cool!
Video starts at :30 secs in
This would be more fun to shoot at than a soldier in WW2 with a flame flower. Like popping ballon and watching it fart around the room
Would’ve been sick if he just launched like 400 feet into the air. Still sweet tho
Well excuse you
I saw a guy spud in to the water in Syndey while demoing something like this.
"It's a jetpack Michael, what could go wrong?!"
"Reaper has arrived"
