Just the thing for the morning commute. :)

Alas, as I understand it, it doesn't have the thrust for a takeoff from a standing start. You have to jump off a cliff, tall building or get dropped from a plane.

So introducing these by the thousands - or even the hundreds - into the skies over Manhattan, Los Angeles or Tokyo for example, may not be the best of ideas, then?

Not if I happen to live UNDER the inevitable three dimensional traffic collision, thanks. (Bad enough with the frippin' helicopters overhead at all hours of the night.)

Oh my - the wee hours are getting less wee. Time to shut up and go to bed...

That's nothing that a JATO unit couldn't solve!

Might need skates though...

Jumping off a cliff or a tall building...JUST the thing to start off my usual corporate day!
