Check out: "Why Buy a Car When You Can Travel Via Jet Pack?" - Luxist.com http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/12/why-buy-a-car-when-you-can-travel-via-jet-pack/
Jet packs have been available before but this latest design from Martin Aircraft Company is perhaps one of the most affordable options yet for those seeking new and exciting personal travel options. Marketed as good for personal use, emergency services, and even the military, each duel-propelled pack boasts 200hp and can travel up to 30 miles in 30 minutes on a single tank of fuel. Plus the unit is light enough that no pilots license is required for use (in the UK, anyway), so on a nice day the average Joe can forget hopping in the car to go pick up a gallon of milk and strap on a jet pack instead.
The New Zealand-based company is looking to start production soon and hopes to produce up to 500 jet packs per year for sale at pound;50,000 each.
