Martin Jetpack is the maker of my new dream vehicle.  For a simple $100,000 you can get your own ride (by late 2010)!  It will go for 30+ minutes and up to 8000 ft hovering!  Check out the vid below.  I’d love to give one of these a try, no question.  My wife, on the other hand, would likely not be so excited for me…

Uncrate give the synopsis:

Powered by a specially-designed 2.0L gasoline engine producing 200hp and capable of traveling as far as 31.5 miles or up to 8,000 feet, this unique personal aircraft falls under the FAA’s Ultralight classification — meaning no pilots license required — and even features a built-in ballistic parachute just in case you manage to run out of gas or stall in mid-air. Bluetooth helmet for playing Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” while flying not included.

Yeah, put that on my Christmas list for next year…
