Go Sky High in the Rocket Belt

Rocket Belt

If you’re like me, then you saw the Rocketeer when you were a kid & have dreamed of owning your own rocket pack ever since.

Now, there’s been a lot of attempts to make a working personal jet pack that will allow the user to take off, fly & land without exploding into lots of tiny bits, or going haywire & flying you straight into a giant billboard. Few of them, however, have been successful & so far none have been commercially available.

Tecnologia Aeroespacial Mexicana are manufacturing the Rocket Belt: the world’s first custom designed jet pack that comes with a distillation machine so that you can produce your own rocket fuel.

There are short, medium & long down tubes that control balance, direction & flight stability, with five different control valves & flow rates. You can also fit one of 3 fuel tanks, depending on how much you want to jet around & there’s even an electronic control timer display for you to monitor things with.

The pack comes in three different sizes for different pilot weights & you can order a custom-made carbon fibre harness that conforms to your shape, giving you the perfect fit for those rockets strapped to your back.

Don’t worry – when you purchase the Rocket Belt, you get hands-on training about the fuel process & the equipment, as well as 5 basic flight training lessons in your own contraption. So you won’t be thrown into the deep end, too much…
