| This ungainly contraption must be launched from a plane and has to use a parachute to land. It's more of a strap-on ultralight aircraft than a practical jetpack. It can only carry enough fuel for 10 minutes of flight. Think I'll pass on this one. |

Bud liked all these contraptions! They are very science fiction, but all of them are very dangerous also. No inbuilt stability.
Yah the jet pack wings look cool but I would NOT strap one on for any amount of money. I don't consider them aircraft, more like expensive thrill toys for the very rich. No real practical use. |
