I'm looking for a personal jetpack for recreational use. Does anyone have any info on these? I know that they are available but aren't sold widely because of perceived liability.

Is there a word for nostalgia for concepts of the future that we had in the past, like flying cars and hoverboards? Because there should be.

I agree. How about Retro-Futurist?

looks like fun, except for the part where you can't take off and land with that jet thing.

This is extraordinary

The Crown Prince of Dubai @HamdanMohammed just posted this video: "A major milestone in the quest to achieve 100% autonomous human flight."

The milestone is about speed (and perhaps altitude)
