Amazing! Without a parachute or even a safety net, Eric Scott strapped an 800 horsepower jet pack to his back and flew across the 1,500 foot wide Royal Gorge in Colorado. Scott reached 75 mph, successfully completing the flight over the 1,053 foot deep gorge in only 21 seconds.
The jet pack shoots hydrogen peroxide, pressurized to 600 pounds, across a silver plate, where it loses an oxygen molecule, leaving only water. This process produces heat of 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit which creates the supersonic pressure that pushes the pilot into the sky.
Jet Pack International plans to bring a more user-friendly jet pack to market within a year. It will have 3 turbine jets making it capable of flying for 9 minutes.
