Always wanted an electric jetpack? If so, then meet the SkyPak V1 by Ascend Dynamics. The prototype has a wooden frame due to the fact that it needs to be sturdy enough to hold a dummy pilot during the testing phase.
It is currently equipped with a 50V, 36.4-Ah, 1.82-kWh lithium-polymer battery that is good for around 2-minutes of flight. What comes next? Skypak V2 of course, which is going to utilize larger propellers that will be shielded for maximum safety, while its total weight without a pilot would be approximately 100-pounds. Eventually, the wooden frame will be replaced with a carbon fiber one and then a more powerful motor should take the place of the current one, enabling it to fly with up to a 300-pound payload.
