Jetlev: Your dream personal flight

Jetlev jetpack

Jetlev is a new recreation water sport, carrying a jetpack on your back that will allow you to be able to enjoy over water. To play with this jetlev jetpack you do not need any license this is because it is design in a way that is extreme user friendly for a new user. Fly-by-wire digital throttle control; nozzles angles determine allocation of thrust between lift and propulsion (forward, neutral or reverse); differential nozzle deflection generates yaw moments; and weight shifting from side-to-side generates roll moments. But dock take off and landing is extremely high risk maneuver, hence for these parts it require expert training.

For those who love to own this Jetlev jetpack you can purchase it but mind you it is very expensive. Currently this water sport is only available to Germany but the company has been very actively in providing franchise opportunities to those looking to privately own a business and holiday resorts.
