Flying into the future: New Zealand company to make personal jet packs
Martin Aircraft Company, in Christchurch, New Zealand, aims to make 500 packs a year which will sell for around £50,000.
The 200 horsepower dual-propeller packs are the brainchild of inventor Glenn Martin who unveiled his machine for the first time in July last year.
[To the tune of Alban Berg Quartet, "String Quartet No. 13 in B-flat major, Op. 130: I. Adagio ma non troppo - Allegro," from the album Beethoven: The Complete String Quartets (Disc 4) (a 4-star song, imo).]
Motorcycle Consumer News just ran an article on the Flying Car (well, really, the flying motorcycle).

Im glad that now that all the other worlds problems have been solved we can turn our attention to creating flying cars and motorcycles.
No doubt they will be as good for humanity and the environment as earthly cars....
