^^ or it uses the same principle as a jet pack, there is a spaceship that is being developed for commercial use that uses this principle as well. Back then you didn't need to fake this kind of thing dude, you had it or you didn't. Not money wisely spent fooling people.

It's real for sure, saw this once on National Geographic on a documentarie about the tomahawk cruise missile. It uses a type of jet engine (small, powerfull & energie efficient) that was experimented with in the 60's by the US army for jet-packs/platforms like in this video.

Muufley... I hope you're not from an English speaking country.

(Congrats on your English if you're Chinese or something though!)

Hey Victorio was this clip taken from the Australian show called Towards 2000 in the 80's? I've been wanting to see this again for over 20 years to see if it was actually real. Thanks 5/5

Apparently this thing was as noisy as a jet plane. Didn't show that bit on the video.
