It's more of a "ducted-fan" pack than a "jet" pack, but they did design and build there own 200hp two-stroke engine.
Wow, no thanks. That's a lot more like strapping yourself to a car as the front bumper than a "pack".

What is the power out glide ratio? vForward/vDown ? Sounds like zero to me. I'll pass.

--Nice but I think I like that one with the high pressure water pumps better, if only because single-point-failure is less catastrophic. Imagine sucking a bird into Martin's newfangled contraption!
