  1. Re:Not a jet pack by Jesrad · · Score: 1 · on Martin Jetpack Closer To Takeoff In First Responder Applications

    I still wonder how hard it would be to just use a pair or triplet of AMT Titan microjet engines to make an actual jetpack ? That's the smaller-is-better approach "Jetman" has followed, with success.

    An example of a jet powered ultralight that meets the European requirements.

    You mean "used to be available". Have you tried to order these after 9/11?
    Yes, there's virtually no difference in availability:

    And there's a whole bunch more here. There's no shortage of gas turbine planes and pilots in our aeroclub, either.

  4. Well... by ptomblin · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Build Your Own Model B-52

    Somebody already made a Cri-Cri (world's smallest plane) powered by two of these engines/a.. It scares the hell out me just thinking of it.

    I'll stick with my PA32R-300, thanks.

  5. Check out the Cri-Cri by NetMasta10bt · · Score: 1 · on Jet-powered Nausicaa Glider Project

    There is a twin jet engined (RC model plane ducted fans) used on the smallest human flown ultralight the Cri-Cri. It can fly with one engine running 100MPH with both it tops at 150MPH.

  6. better than me by xeno · · Score: 2 · on Biking @ 80 MPH

    Wow. That's pretty impressive. Especially when at the beginning of this year, I took a ride on a recumbent bike with a microjet on the back, and didn't get nearly that fast.

    Yah, some bike freaks in North Seattle put a real engineer-designed jet engine onto one of their bikes as a marketing stunt, and I was stupid enough to take it for a ride on city streets. But I only got up to about 45mph with a jet engine, fercrissakes! (Of course, I weigh ~275#, and the turbine had an output of under 20ft/lbs at 150,000rpm...)
