Man.... i hope i'm still around 30 years from now, to see this commercialized and miniatured with alternate power source.
3D printing is already miniaturizing these micro-jet engines... energy source is unlikely to change away from carbon fuels in the next 30 years, fuel energy density is the limiting factor of flight time in this, and it will be very hard to beat the energy density of carbon fuels in that timeframe. I could see a transition from jet fuel to liquid methane with material improvements to pressure vessels and insulation.
You are right 👉 we will be able to fly...
Way sooner than 30 years. I'd start saving...
@@kschleic9053 in 10 years we will have e fuels yeah, let's charge the f up
From a practicality standpoint idk if that's gonna happen lol. Commercialisation that is
@@flyingfrogofdeath9616 man, I'd expect more enthusiasm from flying 🐸!! What do you mean, practicality? You will commute flying over the fields. Backpack and boots. Won't be for everyone, obviously .
We'll be probably making magnetic anti-grav vehicles in few years anyway..
Great skills on the FPV drone, not easy to fly sideways and up hill whilst tracking, still struggling to believe I lived long enough to see the science fiction jetpacks of my youth become science reality.
Congratulations for a great flight, video, and especially to the drone pilots, who also did an amazing job!
The waterfall really helps give a scale of this ascent.
That Superhero moment at the end - just hovering there in space like Dr Strange in his cape. Great stuff!
I continue to be knocked out by how impressed I am with each new video of yours.
This device is going to revolutionize the world, technology being used for the good of humankind is always Amazing
Totally agree. Especially it speeds up so fast on saving life.
Wait until it start launching granades 💀
@Element you do have a point, I foresee a strong military application of this device
unfortunately it's gonna be used by evil rich people for a twisted purposes
Great for Robbing Banks too! Can't wait!
Hi, can you show us the jetpack in action using a thermal imaging camera? I try to imagine these spectacular views ...
That would be interesting. Hope they do this
Absolutely brilliant
This is amazing. The dreams comes true
Awesome, I'm sure this will come into good use.
I just can't imagine the thrill the feeling
amazing
Fantastyczny lot, genialny wynalazek !!!
Какой язык ето?
Bloody brilliant yet again Richard and great droning. Jet pack looks a little different, a bit military if i may say so. Thanks from Rome✌🇬🇧
God I hope one day just for 5 minutes of my fly I get to fly one of these
Amazing! Perfect tool to save lifes in the mountain especialy in very remote and difficult acces location 👍👍
This is humans at its best.
I hope that someday i will get a chance to fly this is wonderful machine
There are so many applications for this technology. That's amazing what you guys have done
Congratulations!!!
Keep going don't stop or slow down this is revolutionary
Congratulations 👏 🎊
👍👍👍 from BARCELONA. CATALUNYA
Great Future has come!
Incredible
Just to think all those years ago hopping around on a line and now look im so happy to have lived to see this become a reality and I thankyou for that
This isn't the future but I guess this will be so popular in 100 years
amazing ...
Beautiful the lot .
Even if it’s never affordable for regular people!! It’s still awesome to watch!!
Salute to the scientists who have developed such a great Machine.
cool
Well done! :)
💜
maravilloso !!!!!!!
god how i would love to check out unreachable regions in america with this.
Cool
It's not the Jetsons....yet. But it is a step closer. Well done.
Respect Grate Britain
Would love to see you guys climbing Mount Everest using this.
Supriyo Samanta
Maybe Kiliminjaro. Mount Everest would likely eat that thing for breakfast. I see why you would want to though, and this *honestly **_does_* seem like a likely use case for it in the future.
Air is to thin at those altitudes. The engines would have about a third of the power at those altitudes compared to sea level.
This is awesome. Quick question though. Would it be possible to make a person fly really high into the air with beautiful precision and then let them use a parachute to get back down safely?
If the price drops a bit I might get one no more traffic jams hooray 😃
Climb Himalayas and everyone will fall in love with this
Drohne Pilot 👩✈️ 👏👏👏
thats so amazing i wish i would fly like that once. any chance you would tell me which song that is in the background? i love that song
I would love to have a jetpack to explore some of the remote areas here in the western USA and other places around the world!🙂
You might have a problem with that using this as it's flight time is about 6 minutes.
@@garyfreeman896 that would be the best 6 minutes of my life
@@thomas9816 You should set your goals higher.
wow，amazing！！！
Amazing Kalimantan

You could strengthen the users arms with available hard or soft exo suit technology to allow for longer flight times. A more modular design would incorporate holders for the rockets in these exo arm pieces, and when not currently flying the user can simply fold them to their back instead of at their thighs. Just a few thoughts from a still learning engineer
At the time the limiting factor on fly time is the fuel consumption and tank capacity. They have to extend fly time 3 times before arms getting sour will be an concern.
Do hard work... That one day middle class family can buy this magical machine... 🙏✌👌
The Queen should have booked you for a zoom down the Mall 👍🇬🇧👍
Where exactly is this? It is so beautiful.... BTW, I wished I could own one of that personal flying device....😊
Lake District in NW England
Better than crouching tiger, hidden dragon. This is amazing!
Damn I want one of those
great
from india
👍👍👍
I’d love to see him go from peak to peak. It would be crazy to be so high.
How much to get prepped for flight though?
How much time takes the Preparation of Pilot and Equipment after arriving on place until Lift off?
This info makes a fair comparison!
Climbing Paaaa
Who set the record ?!? The hero dude in red jacket? Or the guy filming him in-flight(?) seeming to just blow by him with ease whenever necessary in order to capture a good shot ??
Is there parachute to be deployed if emergency happens?
*Does it make a lot of fumes / smell ?* ❓
Wah keren sekali bung, mantap.
Salam dari Indonesia 👍🙏
What would happen if you accidently hit your leg with the jet?
lol why's the footage playing in reverse? Unless water goes up hill in this region..
Every fire department needs this. Doing mountain rescues are tough. This would make it so much more easier.
@Alex Perez sometimes just getting to a person is more important then the long haul down the mountain. This unit with a medical bag and a trained paramedic could save lives.
@Alex Perez How do you know this? Facts please!
@Alex Perez No thanks. You said it. So back it up. This is UA-cam. Your comments are meaningless trash if you say things that are not true.
@@2002RM it's stated plenty in earlier videos do youre research before flaming other people or your opinion is worthless trash
Just put egzoskelet for reinforce hands and you will have really good device..... maybe this is second step?
What happens if you fly over a hole?
Missing the sequence where he goes down on foot ?
Yeah :-) I'm not the only one to notice this then. None of the video has shown descending these mountains.
I belive there is a video of them taking it up on foot they then launch part way up.
Is there a video without music?
To bad your hands aren’t free. I want one ! Holy cool.
WOW😱😱😱😱😱
Thrust vector controlled by mind would be a way to unchain your hands or maybe it will weight too much.
Maybe in the future with Neuralink or similar.
ROCKETMAN
Reckon that be more like a 1hr 25min walk for most of us lol
What i would do to fly around like that
How fast to go back down?
I WANNA TRY IT SO BAD
Is there a need of surface of ground to keep flying ? Will it work the same if you jump from a cliff and then try to fly?
I think it will work at high altitudes, but the wind will push you hard and make you lose balance and die of course, is way safer to fly close to the ground.
It can fly high and low the same. The problem with flying at high altitudes is it's dangerous; if there's a problem, you fall and die. That's why they don't go full speed (over 80 mph) or higher than a safe falling distance. The new class of jetpacks will eventually fly at altitude when they prove as reliable as a helicopter.
Jumping from a cliff would only work if they fly from the cliff under power. They wouldn't jump first and then power it up.
It would work as long as you are not too high as the engines are designed to work at low level air thickness. The higher you go the, the thinner the air and then less power will be available. Also I don't think you could jump off a cliff, you would need to start on flat land.
Who fell?
so you cant turn back ?
I am Indonesia hanker study spend Jetpack and had it.
That is so easly to get over the top of the mountain
Undertakers and orthopedic surgeons love this device.
i can do that ...in my dream
I dream about that when i was child 😍,😁👍
#277-✅👍🏻
where can I donate for this project?
Send me the $$$ and I'll make sure they get it. Trust me, I'm a good guy 😉
Haha this is not crowdfunding

So silly, impractical and expensive, yet I love it!
It's very practical, far cheaper than the £2000 an hour rate for a helicopter to search ground ( never mind all the other support vehicles) and the word silly most certainly does not apply.
It's relatively very cheap, very practical ( you just saw it arrive in a fairly normal car and hit the top minutes later...) and far from silly.
To be clear...
cheap
practical
not silly...
@@Jafmanz so a drone would be even cheaper, more practical and not burn gas?
@@donindri And i guess you drone will also be capable of performing first aids and lift heavy rocks, rigth?
@@donindri use a drone for finding a victim and use the jetpack to get a first responder to said victim. First responder can stabilize the victim until he/she can be safely removed from the mountain. Either by foot or via helicopter. Most issues now are because rescue teams dont know the condition of casualties so speed is crucial. If you know the casualty is stable, you can be a lot more careful with safely rescuing the casualty.
@@HvV8446 Good idea. I think small manned drones will be available soon and may also play a role.
how does he get down? can we see that
That would probably be 3 guys carrying a bunch of heavy equipment down potentially treacherous terrain.
SR I bet it's still awesome 👍,huh
I know you guys abandoned the early design of having jets on the feet due to the instability it caused. But it seems to me that this was because the leg jets were too powerful and expected to bear the load of the entire body.
Would it not work better if there were outside ankle jets that were much smaller and with less thrust so each one just bore the weight of that leg and a little more.
That way there could be a back jet for the majority of the trust, then a smaller one on each limb and that would give you four points of positional and directional control instead of two. It would also mean the pilot became less fatigued over time.
Don't know if you saw the Cisco video or not. He made a comparison to hovering a dog over water and it wants to start paddling. They had same issue with humans. We instinctively want to pull our legs up once leaving the ground which of course throws the thrust vector off. That sounded like the main reason they abandoned the leg jets. At least to me ;-) (edit: fixed some typos)
Indeed, the issue of the pilot's instincts is what makes the leg jets unusable. Our instincts aren't designed for this method of movement and act contrary to our benefit in this case. Using the arms for the movement, they bypass most existing instincts and can write new muscle memory much faster than if they had to first unlearn such deep wiring.
So, while your concept has merit, it would only work for a select few who could succeed at such mental unlearning, which significantly narrows the already small pool of viable pilots.
The back jet already bears most of the weight. The arm jets are for manoeuvring, plus a bit of load bearing. It’s effectively a tripod design, which is the minimum stable arrangement.
@@bjma654651651 I get that powerful leg jets are an issue. But I think weaker ones would allow the pilot to feel like he's on all fours crouching on a surface of air.
The added fuel weight would dramatically reduce the already impractical 6 minute flight time.
This is potential realized. Mountain navigation. You could use this in search and rescue to locate a lost survivor and triage them while EMS is on the way. This could revolutionize Mountain warfare.
I hope the fuel is long lasting, when you climb the mountaint, you can get down the mountaint
It takes you 25 minutes to run 250 meters uphill? Surely its 2.5km?
death stranding
This is amazing, have been a fan and followed you guys for a while now. My advice is add a very lightweight exoeskeleton that absorbs the pressure from the jets so everyone can use it, and you can make this a lot more mainstream. Also in the longer horizon i would work on a lightweight suit that could absorb pressure/imapact to save user from injury from at least small falls.
