Looks like the FAA is going to have to scramble again and write some new regs. LOL

If he hits an aircraft, rest assured he will not be around to tell you about it.

I was more concerned about the aircraft than what happens to the guy in jetpack

Wonder if it was a blow up doll filled with helium. ?

... wonder if he had hit a plane what would have happened

Media would have reported it as a drone strike.

Wacky stuff.

Don't understand what the big deal is really. A jetpack? My ex took flight 30 years back on her broom....

It’s unlikely to be a good day for all parties involved. Obviously the FAA are going to have to investigate and rewrite the rule book. Compared to the U.K. I feel FAA legislation is perhaps a little lax. Over this side of the pond there’s no way you could throw something like a kitfox together, stick an experimental sticker on it and just take to the skies. Likewise a jet pack! The only powered craft that can be flown in the U.K. without license is a paramotor but more fool anyone that chooses to take to the sky without some form Of formal tuition or without radio contact with local ATC.

Anyone know the flight time of any jetpack? In order to reach 3,000 ft, and safely return, would take a lot of fuel. Can they carry enough?

Just another day in Dubai. And people wonder why the U.S. is so far behind in flying technology.

Got millions for developing a new, revolutionary jet pack or personal drone??? Forget the U.S.A. Get your passport and pack your bags for Dubai. Maddening how much of a big deal the FAA makes out of anything they can't identify. This, despite almost every crash in history due to MECHANICAL FAILURE, NOT collision. Even then, those collisions are with other full scale aviation vehicles. But yeah...let's go into panic mode over some guy with a jet pack or a drone. I guess history counts for nothing around here. That said...

Of all the places to fly, in the flight line of an airport isn't the smartest place to fly. We can only assume that someone with that much moxie is ALSO hyper aware of his surroundings.

Discuss.

We make and repair RADOMES where I work. This would be good for business in times like these.

I don't think you'll find a single person in this forum who isn't against RADOMES. I think we can all agree.
