That's really cool.  Website says 10 minute flights up to 100000 feet.  Jet packs only go 20 seconds or so, I wonder what the use for propellant.

It's a small jet engine.  I would assume that they burn kerosene, but I don't know.

I was watching and thinking how this thing HAS GOT to be worked into the next James Bond film.  And right afterwards there needs to be a hover platform division added to the Red Bull Air Races.

Two steps to full public acceptance as entertainment devices then followed by the military starting to play with them as tools for special operatrors.

Sweet! So now this needs to be combined with the wing suit to see what sort of horizontal range you get. Maybe more than minutes of flight with horizontal cruising?
