If, like me, the thought of public transport makes you shudder, then maybe you should consider splashing out $200,000 on Jetpack International’s personal rocket-pack. Running on good old fashioned aviation fuel and with a flight-time of 19 minutes, that should be enough for a moderate commute into the office (which hopefully is an airport, since you’ll need to refuel for the trip home at the end of the day).

Jetpack International's Rocket Pack

Jetpack International estimate a range of 27 miles with a maximum altitude of 250ft. It’s turbine powered, giving it greater range than the rocket-belt in the video above, and the sizable pricetag comes with a training session so you don’t immediately splatter yourself against the nearest building. They’re saying it’ll go on sale December 11th.
