Personal jet packs go on sale mid-2017

"Australian aviator David Mayman has promised investors that his personal jet packs will hit the market by mid-2017, though early adopters will pay about $250,000 for one, to fly a person at up to 60 mph for 10 minutes. The JB-10 (developed by Mayman and designer Nelson Tyler) has made about 400 test runs in Monaco and over downtown London and New York City, but the partners realize that ultimate success will require that the fuel tanks be downsized so that the craft can be powered electrically--and thus seek crowdfunding both for that model and a larger one to accommodate the Pentagon's (Special Operations Command) tactical needs."

• The JB-10 JetPack uses two minature jet engines fixed to a harness. 
• The engines run on aviation fuel and can together lift 350lbs at a time. 
• It can be controlled using two joysticks which control the lift and direction of the jetpack.
