JETLEV personal flying machine

Posted by: sonia in Outdoor Living, Sports/Recreation

Give dad the gift of flight with his very own personal flying machine!

The JETLEV FLYER uses a combination 4-stroke engine and 2 water jets to help you fly and levitate above water.

Depending on your weight, you could fly as high as 10m (nearly 33 feet), and reach speeds of up to 65 km/h (40 mph). You can even cruise for up to 2 hours.

The pilot’s weight is supported by the unicycle-type saddle and accompanying leg trapeze.
Your arms are responsible for maneuvering the control arms, which manage the nozzles.

Looks like fun, but you do need to learn to operate it safely. The JETFLYER comes with a training video and a personal trainer provides instructions on safe take off and landing, as well as flying, hovering and turning.

Stop quickly, travel in any direction and even reverse directions while in the skies

Suitable for pilots between 1.5 – 2m in height (approx 5 – 6 1/2 feet) and weighing 40 – 120 kg (88 – 265 lbs)

not suitable if you have a fear of heights (obviously), can’t swim or don’t like having your face immersed in water on occasion
