Thunderpack Personal Propulsion System

Thunderbolt Aerosystems today announced the release of its THUNDERPACK, a personal propulsion system capable of sustaining flight for longer than ever before achieved and concurrently unveiled plans to develop a jet powered THUNDERJET with exponentially greater capability.

Bench tests of the company’s THUNDERPACK have provided up to 75 seconds of flight time, a 300% increase over what other systems offer, and initial conceptual plans for the THUNDERJET system promise ten-fold increases over state of the art rocket belt capabilities.

Yeah, nothing like a tort that involves lawyers and a thirty foot fall to the ground

I will only buy a jetpack if it's endorsed by Brendan Fraser the Rocketeer.

we have had cars around for a century and have people that still havent mastered them.

we really don't need people who can fly

Brendan Fraser wasnt the Rocketeer.

That really isn't practical.

We need the ones from Tribes that don't blow dirt and dust all over the fucking place.

He is now. Who the fuck has heard of Bill Campbell?

Couldn't they film somewhere that they didn't kick up a giant dust cloud?

I would rather have one of these...




You can carry more ammo and stuff like groceries.

Man i'd so love to get my groceries in that flying platform. Find a nice parking spot, grab the stuff and take off gracefully.

Kids do the darndest things....

doubt it.

people will still used roads for direction. a person fucking up w/jetpack over a highway, mall, school, can't control it as it gets too close to the flight path of the local airport.

there are way too many ways that a lot of people could get hurt.

That's not just compressed air, it's probably hydrogen peroxide or some other peroxide fuel.
