Personal $157K Water Powered Flying Machine

“Freedom, exhilaration, adventure: The dream of personal flight is as old as mankind. In the 21st century the daring vision of Daedalus has finally come true.

It sounded like a crazy idea. But after nine long years of development including six years of intensive testing and refinements, our creativity, persistence and unshakeable belief in our ideas have finally produced an incredible and revolutionary personal flying machine.
We are very proud to present our spectacular patented new product – the JETLEV-FLYER*.

The JETLEV-FLYER employs a powerful 4-stroke engine (155 – 215 HP) and water nozzle reaction force to achieve stable, controlled flight. Depending on pilot weight, a standard JETLEV-FLYER could reach an altitude of 10 m, top speeds of 65 km/h and has a cruising duration of 1 – 2 hours.”

So, stop dreaming – start flying!
