It has taken long enough. The Americans have had one for decades, admittedly not commercial. |

That's not a jet - it's a two stroke engine powering propellers. I imagine it's very heavy. However, the 30 minute run time is much better than the rocket packs we've had for decades. They generally only have enough fuel for a few seconds! |

I wonder how many bankers will buy these to commute to work? Though I expect shot gun sales to shot up if they did so. The fact that it could run on cheap fuel could make it practical as well. |
