In a stunt that was in part done to promote an energy drink, Jet Pack International’s Eric Scott flew over a 1,250-foot-deep gorge south of Denver with a standard hydrogen peroxide jet pack. He broke his own record, travelling 1,500 feet horizontally.

The whole flight lasted about 20 seconds, due to hydrogen peroxide packs’ maximum flight time of 45 second, extendable to a maximum of 75 seconds if you add a little kerosene into the mix.

That may be dramatically increased to as much as 9 minutes with plans from Go Fast Sports, a sister company of Jet P.I. to develop a turbine jet-powered backpack. It will have multiple engine nozzles, such as hose found on certain VTOL aircraft.

"It's got one engine on the top, pointing backward, and two facing down to provide lift," Go Fast Sports CEO Scott Rhodes explained to FOXNews.com about the T-73 model.

The turbine model will be much more fuel efficient than the rocket-type models on classic jetpacks due to using atmospheric oxygen as additional fuel, unlike the latter.

The H2O2, Jet P.I.’s main model (named after the chemical formula of Hydrogen Peroxide) has a flight time of 33 seconds, and is not available for purchase. A similar one with a 30 second flight time is available from Jet P.I.’s main competitor Tecnologia Aeroespacial Mexicana for $250,000. Jet P.I. is planning to release the T-73 model in the near future for roughly $200,000.

The price tag buys you pilot training which is essential, Rhodes says.

"When we hire pilots, we first test them in a big aircraft hanger where they're attached to tethers, and we see how well they control the jetpacks." he explained. "It's not easy — any small movement can throw the entire machine off balance, and once it's out of control, all you can do is ease off on the power and set it down."

At least two other companies offer similar products if you can cough up the cash.
