bb,
I stumbled across it while listening to joe rogans podcast where a former seal who does wingsuit jumps talked about how crazy this was.
I imagine more than 100k, its probably carbon fiber construction just to begin with… like most things, if you have to ask how much it costs then you (me too) cant afford it.

I wonder how long it takes to learn to fly one of those?
And is any special license needed to do it legally in the U.S.?
Even so, I think I’ll wait till they can be launched from the ground like an ultralight, maybe a JATO type of unit or something.

Too funny…… I saw the prototype for this back in the 60’s on the show “You Asked For It”

Try a pair of skates, a leash, a St. Bernard, and a female in heat at your destination.
I’ve tried it. It works!

100 grand for a jet-pack? Gilligan had one 50 years ago for less than that.

Anybody remember when gas stations used to pump the gas, clean the windshield, check the oil, inflate your tires, etc. all while you sat on your ass in the driver’s seat?
And you could fill up your car for $5.

The jetman jet pack videos are compilations, cleverly spliced together from many, many glides (the packs lack the lift or thrust to actually ascend, all glides start from helicopters), with heavy digitized post-production work.
Try a jetpack instead
