Jetpack Plus Skis Equals 47 MPH, and That's at Half Throttle

Filed under: Videos, Tech

Troy Hartman built a jetpack out of a military UAV and decided to take it skiing. The result? Speeds of 47 MPH at half-throttle. That is some terrifyingly fast skiing. In another test run, Hartman was actually able to jet UP a Black Diamond run. How soon can we make these things commercially available?

Also, I'm confused about how this was filmed. If Troy is going 47MPH on skiis ... then who was camera?
