Those of us who have been around a while remember the jetpacks that folks would fly into sporting events with and wow the crowds. They didn't stay in the air very long, nor did they go very high. These folks in New Zealand may be on the verge of changing all that. It's a lot bigger and bulkier, but that may make the difference to give it a useful range and altitude.

Keep an eye on this one, let's see how the manned trials go.
