The Martin Jet-Pack

Anyone remember the movie The Rocketeer, where the Nazis and the FBI were working against each other to steal a rocket pack from a failed stunt pilot? If not, IMDB it AT ONCE. Now, this isn't the same premise, or a movie for that matter. This ish is REAL. The Martin Aircraft Company has created its own personal jet pack, which is now available to the public, given you can pass the company's stringent training sessions. The pack supports a weight of up to 280 pounds and is powered by a 2.0-liter V-four two-stroke engine that can take you about 31.5 miles (or the typical American's work commute). Plus, the jet pack can travel up to 8000 feet in the air, so it's definitely not for the acrophobic. Last but not least, Martin AC made sure they thought about the recession with this offering, with the MSRP chiming in right around the price of a high end motor-cycle. The description doesn't do it justice, so check the video and the pictures below...
