In 2019, Special Operations Command sought to develop \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stripes.com\/the-age-of-true-jetpack-flight-is-near-and-special-operations-command-wants-in-on-it-1.565651\" target=_blank>individual lift devices<\/a>\u201d and found a partner to make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">California-based JetPack Aviation is working on an ILD turbine engine system that is expected to carry special operators 200 miles an hour, for up to 10 minutes, so they can fly from base to battle, hair whipping and lips flapping in the wind. Exhilarating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luckily, the DARPA request also gives me some hope that a system for civilians could one day follow, particularly this line: \u201cWhen deployed, the platform will be designed with simplified operations in mind, so that someone unfamiliar with the platform could be educated in its safe and effective use with relatively little training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is there anything more American than a bunch of untrained hooligans attempting to commute via sky to their offices post-COVID?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At least 2021 will be good for something: Jet
