Water Jetpack


This water powered device can power the user to a height of 15 meters (50 feet) high, has a top speed of over 40 miles per hour, and up to 190 miles before it need refueling. This is because it has its own fuel supply and power plant floating on a boat-like surface connected to the jetpack, allowing the traveler almost free movement on the water.
The floating pump is powered by a 150 horsepower four-stroke engine that sends the water through a 43 meters (140 feet) hose to a pair of nozzles mounted on the jetpack. The jet of water leaving the nozzles is sufficiently powerful to lift a person into the air. The nozzles can be angled so the user can move in any direction desired.
The water jetpack took nine years to develop, which include six years of testing and refinements before it could fulfill its purpose. This machine is named “The JetLev Flyer”, and it can “fit” pilots up to 2 meters in height, and 40kg to 120kg in weight. It uses a digital fly-by-wire system to control the throttle.
It is claimed that the machine is extremely easy to learn and operate. When bought, all customers will receive a high quality training video and detailed instructions from a qualified personal trainer to learn the special procedures of takeoff, flying, turning, hovering and landing. Future designs could achieve higher altitudes and top speeds, extended range of up to 300 km and even travel both above and below the water´s surface. This item can currently be bought from this page, and has a cost of no less than 99 thousand Euros, good luck saving up!
