Just two guys casually jetpacking over DUBAI

Yves Rossy and Vince Reffet look like out of the Jetsons in this epic video where they use jetpacks in a synchronized flight. Rossy is a pilot with more than 10,000 hours worth of flights and the lead designer behind the jetpack he and Reffet used in this powerful demo shot right above Dubai's glorious skyline. The jetpack seems really sturdy and able to propel the pilots with agility and grace. To use them, however, the two had to jump off a helicopter. Despite this, the jetpacks can be used to gain altitude and sustain the flight from 6 to 13 minutes at speeds between 180 and 300 km/h, depending on how hard they go.

jetpack flight dubai

Yves Rossy and Vince Reffet look like out of the Jetsons in this epic video where they use jetpacks in a synchronized flight. Rossy is a pilot with more than 10,000 hours worth of flights and the lead designer and inventor behind the jetpack he and Reffet used in this powerful demo shot right above Dubai’s glorious skyline. The jetpack seems really sturdy and able to propel the pilots with agility and grace. To use them, however, the two had to jump off a helicopter. Despite this, the jetpacks can be used to gain altitude and sustains the flight from 6 to 13 minutes at speeds between 180 and 300 km/h, depending on how hard they go.

Out of this world, right? Well, you might be surprised to know that for $100,000 you could have your own jetpack. A few years ago, Martin Aircraft Co.  tested one of its jetpack model to a whooping altitude of  5,000 feet above Canterbury, New Zealand.
