Very cool although the parachute backup looks like a rough landing...

Altitude is not your friend, and quiet is very, very bad.

So now we’ll be able to physically kick illegal drone spies out of the skies. Cool.

Great, now where’s my basement nuclear power plant that’s the size of a cooler and my George Jetson flying car-in-a-briefcase?

I saw one in use back in the sixties. A “pilot” flew over into a stadium from an adjacent parking lot.
It was a short but very loud trip!

Thing weighs over 500 pounds! You’re not going to even move it without a forklift. Not exactly a “suit.”

A ducted fan (fanny pack??) is just not as elegant nor as cool as a jet pack.

How would I go about securing it in the parking lot at my office?
Or would I need to cable lock it to a pillar so some fool didn’t decide to chuck it in the back of his truck and abscond with it?
Otherwise, I’m in... right after I get an extra $100K or so.

I saw the jet pack guy flying around the Houston Astrodome in 1965, it sure is taking it’s time moving to public availability.

And what about my flying car?
At this point, I'd settle for that $20 waterproof carboard bicycle we're supposed to have by now.
