Jet Pack

Shades of the 1960's - Jet Pack.

But this one seems to be a turbo and can get more than a few minutes of air time.

"Fed up of endless traffic jams and overcrowded trains? Then how about commuting to work in your own jetpack?

New Zealand firm Martin Aircraft Company is building a one-person jetpack scheduled to go on sale in 2016. And it actually seems to work.

Although currently slated for use by emergency services, it is only a small leap to imagine it in the hands of commuters...."
