Over the years, we’ve all seen the videos of jetpacks. It’s usually an amazing feat as we watch a daredevil blast off into the sky, only to return a few seconds later. While jetpacks are still awesome, we could only wish for more flight time. Well that request has been answered by MS Watersports GmbH with the introduction of the JetLev. Based out of Hamburg Germany, MS Watersports created a Jetpack that connects to a floating pump and runs on a constant stream of pressurized water, allowing riders hours of flight time.
From telegraph.co.uk
“Designer Ramke's invention can power the rider to a height of 50 feet (15m), has a top speed of 30mph, and can travel almost 200 miles before it needs to be refuelled.”
“A floating pump powered by a 150 horsepower four-stroke engine sends water through a 140ft-long (43m) hose to a pair of nozzles mounted on the jet pack.”
“The jet leaving the nozzles is sufficiently powerful to push the rider off the ground. The nozzles can then be angled to propel the pilot forward in "stable, controlled flight".”
You can own the JetLev Flyer for a mere $130,000 and can be purchased at their website: www.jetlev-flyer.com. “All customers receive detailed instructions from a qualified personal trainer to learn the special procedures of takeoff, flying, turning, hovering and landing.”
