which is cool, because there's just about nothing cooler than jet packs!! https://twitter.com/WBTWNews13/status/1300935854744104962?s=20 quote:“Tower, American 1997. We just passed a guy in a jet pack,” the American Airlines pilot reports to the control tower. hmm https://twitter.com/AmbJohnBoIton/status/1300819765796179968?s=19  Well that seals it, going to sell my car and get a jet pack when these bad boys come out. Finally the future is here.e: found what i think is the jetpack in that second one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daedalus_Flight_Pack only $250k at launch! i think i know what the next goon fund me should be about AARD VARKMAN fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Sep 2, 2020 |

to be clear, World of Jet Packs does not feature jetpacks, but rather packs of jets that can be bought in loot crates

I think I slowly watched the development of these things on YouTube over the course of a few years through random recommendations. The original concept had the guy trying to build a functional Iron Man suit and spent a lot of wasted time trying to base the design on that - with the two thrusters on the feet and two on the palms. They had the tech for the little jet engines down and it was powerful but it impossible to stabilize when you had 4 limbs with rockets attached to them. They arrived at the one jetpack + two jets in the megaman arms that turned out to be pretty stable like a tripod of force that is apparently not too hard to control.

I for one am thrilled to possibly die in a jetpack accident. I'm not even being sarcastic, dying because of a jetpack would be way cooler than like heart attack or car crash

the one in the op seems like you couldn't really use it with a gun so I think the logical answer is to hire a hockey to sit on your shoulders and shoot

Yeah but where's my hoverboard??? and don't show me that "hoverboard" with wheels bullshit you know what i mean. Its like a skateboard, it's pink, and it floats even on water. We were promised it by 2015 but apparently science has been focused on this nonsense instead. Now look at the world, i guess the doc couldn't fix the timeline if mcfly wasnt able to get a HB back to the old west and this is the dark future reality where biff is president and funko pops reign supreme. Really makes you think

THE BAR posted:They seriously called them Daedalus? Makes sense, Daedalus famously constructed wings, allowing his son, Icarus, to fly. What happened after that is hard to say but Im pretty sure everything ended up a-ok for old Icarus and the gang.

Seems like a good name to me. Everything went fine for Daedalus because he paid attention to the instructions. Anyway, have some footage of the initial release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDIojhOkV4w

Her me out: Air Rickshaws. A jetpack man hauls clients around in a zorb ball, just drops the ball when they reach the destination. Next passenger inflates a balloon from their zorb, jetpack man picks them up like that scene in Hong Kong from the Dark Knight.
