      @@future5889 ---- or, there are some people who suspect it to be a large drone with some kind of mannequin strapped in.
      I know for faxt that there are large heavy lift drones that are able to pick up around 40 or 50 lbs dead weight off the ground and be stable in flight, at speed around 20 mph with a range of around 5-6 miles out of sight of the operator. If the drone gets out of range from the operator, the mission has already been plotted into the onboard guidance system and the drone will continue to its target, take whatever action it has been programmed to do then turn around and return home. Without assistance. But will lock back into the signal when in range and notifies the remote control device and will go "home" and even land itself.
      I'd imagine an R/C jetpack of pretty good size could carry a dummy that looks basically like a person. They've been using one of those dummies as Biden for the last four years. LOL

    If I weighed less, and had the money, I am 100% certain that I could build a similar craft. Three off-the-shelf turbines for RC aircraft, generating about 367 Ibs of thrust, mounted on individual swiveling aluminum frames around the shoulders, and a main aluminum frame with harness, fuel tanks, and supporting electronics and gear.
    Basically anyone who knows how to weld, and has an idea of how thrust and gravity works could build one, the only constraint is money.

      It would take a tremendous amount of skill and practice to operate such a vehicle, though speaking on just inflight control and overall characteristics, it probably wouldn’t be much worse than those jetski-powered water jet packs. Assuming a design that mounts the jets at or above shoulder height, it would fly somewhat similar to a drone, V-22 osprey, or the jetski jetpack mentioned above, with the center of gravity below the center of thrust/lift at all times.
      Initial flights would consist of MANY hovering and low-altitude practice flights before going higher. If you put your mind to it, anything is possible.

Remember, it not only has to have enough battery capacity to reach these altitudes, but enough to bring it back down also. If someone managed to get a done up there and it were to run out of battery, it would fall to earth. Being that it was sighted over LA, a densely populated urban area, it would have been found quickly. That is if it didn't injure someone, or damage property upon crashing to the ground. The latter of which is more probable than not, which would only lead to it being found quicker.

    • @TheCrazyMoparDude68
      @TheCrazyMoparDude68 6 місяців тому

      No, you are wrong. It is actually a common slang word used within many engineering companies, especially those companies in the aerospace, military aviation, and military technology. It describes a department of specialists that develop new technology without having to report through the normal “chain of command”. Meaning they can continue to work on their projects without having to report to the bosses every step of the way and can get the project done much quicker. And these groups are comprised of the best and brightest of the companies and tend to work on classified technology.
      And there is no company called Skunk Works either. There is a division of Lockheed Martin that is called the Skunk Works, but it isn’t a separate company all,of it’s own. The division was first called Lockheed Advanced Project Development Division and was formed during WW2 and was before Lockheed merged with Martin Aviation. The name was “changed” to Skunk Works when they were working on the P-80 Shooting Star and had a large circus tent set up near a plastic company in which they did most of their work in. The tent was close enough to the plastic manufacturer that the smell from the various chemicals would waft into the tent and stay resulting in the tent having a really horrible smell inside. The terrible smell made the R&D workers think about the Skonk Works factory that was in the Lil Abner comic strip and soon they began to refer to that tent as the Skunk Works. And the name stuck and eventually Lockheed started using that name in place of the advance development department. Although I believe the official name of the department is still Lockheed Martins Advance Development Department, Skunk Works is just easier to say.
      Now the term Skunk Works is used to describe any small and dedicated team of R&D engineers/scientists that works on special or secret projects without direct oversight of the higher ups.

I was taking pics with a long tele lens, I heard the craft, noting the unusual sound of the engine source, and directed my 400mm lens skyward. I know what I saw wasn't an electric drone or a small engine as you'd find on an RC plane; the sound was too distinctly different to be some hobbyist prank. The pilot had on an oversized suit, and there was a big pack on his back. He was also flying for a while. I saw him heading north, and a few minutes later saw him flying south.

    @LexipMedia 3 роки тому +65

    Having some lone inventor designing and building an advanced jetpack makes a nice story, but the only way I see that happening is:
    1) engineer who quit or retired from aeronautical firm - best would be if he had worked for one of the two jetpack companies.
    2) he is independently wealthy - which means he had a lot of stock options at his former employer, or he inherited it, OR he's working for someone wealthy
    3) has a hidden place in the hills to launch and land at .
    Problems with this:
    1) Flying around LA has got him noticed. IF he bought six turbojet engines at one time any time in the recent past, someone should remember them being ordered by an entity that is not a recognized aircraft research firm.
    2) Hard to find a place anywhere near LA you could land and take off without being noticed even if you made the jetpack completely silent
    3) Since he has not been noticed flying elsewhere in LA, his base is probably close to KLAX.
    Which leads to:
    1) It's more likely a drone/mannequin combination.
    2) best way to hide takeoff/landing location is roof of high building
    3) It has to be near KLAX due to range issues
    I'd look for a high building near KLAX, probably a residential building with insecure roof access, where the perpetrator could be a resident or the building manager; OR an office building where they could be a tenant or building maintenance worker.

      Launching from a high rooftop would definitely lessen the chance of being heard or seen. Even still, those turbines have got to be pretty loud. Then again, maybe this is the reason for the flights being in the vicinity of LAX ?
      If you think about it, being near to a busy airport would be the least likely place anyone would notice, or pay attention to the noise generated by a jet engine. Around an airport like LAX the sounds of jet engines are near constant, to a point we don't even pay attention to them when near. It would be much easier to takeoff without being noticed near LAX. By people on the ground anyway.

    Absolutely amazing 👏 commendable work you put together. Informative and yet touch of child like amazement and wonder. A "who done it" type story "and why did they do it "kind of intrigue. I really liked the ending you put together as the video started to come to a close of your mental and emotional touch to the ending. wrapping up the video with a "child like " wonderment. Thank you for putting this together for us to enjoy 😉 I am definitely interested in watching more of your channel and videos and see what else you put together for my
    "wondering self" lol blessings to you and thanks again

    Maybe he flew close to LAX trying to do the right thing- to notify them of his presence! because any airplane pilot worth their salt avoid geese & seagulls & such all the time... if he's smart enough to build a jet pack on his/her day off... I think that that person would be smart enough to not get hit .. I hope

    A drone 6 miles off the ocean?
    I guess if they flew it from a boat. But why if they had no idea that a plane would even see them? IDK. Maybe someone built a drone that they can fly in/on, make more sense.

      or just a baloon. its definatley a man in a jetpack flying 3k feet while going to and from a airport,,,, they cant go that high or that far. they can fly for a few minutes at most. if DARPA and these entertainment companies cant do this its definitely not a guy working out of his garage like some gullible ppl think.....its not a "board engineer" its a drone with a baloon or just a baloon like that haloween display that looked just like it. the fbi already pretty much said it was a baloon with 99% certainty

    About the "no body hearing any sounds from a loud jetjack in use" Much of the area, on certain sides, around LAX have no people walking around especially if you get a few miles away from LAX and the hotels. However, some areas are are quite busy.

      If his base is near enough to the airport, his noises would be masked by planes. Nobody would notice. My other theory is his base being on the sea, but that might be too far, same as the desert. Somebody said it could be on roof of tall building, but it would have to be inhabited (top floors at least) at certain times to go unnoticed.
