Motorcycle ping!.....................
Megaforce tried them in the 80s.
They need to make sure Chuck Norris is driving it.
[ What could the Pentagon do with a jet bike? ]
I think they had these in “The Island”.
Only $380K a pop. Sold-out in no time.
.. a top speed of 100 mph, a maximum altitude of 10,000 feet and a total flight time of 10 minutes.
hopes it includes a hefty life insurance policy, splints and squeegies.

Hmmm, jet bike?...or...new snow blower?
Well, you could shoot them down with WWII AAA with optical sights.
No radar or missiles needed.
Then there’s the question of range, and how to get out of what you got into.
I can only imagine what a bunch of 20 year old new warrant officers would do with this!!
Sounds cool. I could also see the answer to the problem being let the JTARV carry the fuel forward so that the Jetbike can do the full 50 miles. Jetbike on scene first and able to bring Ammo, Food, possibly reinforcements. JTARV is fast follower with heavier replenishments and fuel. As with all tech, getting it built initially is the game changer. Time will improve speed, distance, payload. Would be really cool when a platform like this could carry say a pilot and 2 mounted RPGs and function like a super small A10 in a confined battlefield. I was going to say minigun, but the payload would have to go WAY up to carry the ammo for even a 1 second burst.
After seeing that picture the first thought that came to mind was sea gulls and Canada geese....

They should also put some speakers on the autonomous version to increase the noise and call it the screamin eagle. Announce it to the battlefield to create a diversion from the actual soldiers.
ACME Corporation was building these decades ago.
Effin' ridiculous.
The Arabs have had magic carpets for centuries.
They can probably have them spin out of control on sharp turns, that’s what they can do with them.
Want to know what they can do? Watch “The Island”.
