    Technically not a jet pack as it is obviously powered by two turboprops. Further, it would seem that it may not be all that stable if it requires 2 helpers.

    Sorry, mcman, but they're not turboprops (jet-powered propellors) either.
    They are simple gas-engine powered ducted fans.

    15hours of training may be a way off since the prototype hasn't gone more than 30seconds so far.... I'm betting we wont be seeing any more of these than the Bell Rocketpacks from the 1960's (a few stadium and movie appearances).

    Eveyone's so hyped about jet packs, there have been a few around for a while now, i don't remember the name, but i'm sure that they're on youtube.

    ...That's a fine demonstration of ground effect. This thing has never seen true flight.
