    They often do with helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, can't see why this would be any different.

    Why's that? I'm interested to understand your reasoning.

    All you pumpers need to get in now to let them build a prototype. They only need $25M to produce 1 jetpack how hard can it be. Once sales hit 1,000 per year we can call it our own Boeing/Grumman. This is the next big thing!

    They need $10m to list. A few months ago they were looking for $5m and got oversubscribed to $6.5m from a private capital raising

    I don't think getting over the mark will be too much of a problem

    Thats no doubt why they have gone to the Australian market. Much bigger with deeper pockets and dont know that they have been singing the same song for the past 3+ years.

    Lets hope they do well, and are able to make a large viable business in NZ, even if it is backed by Aussie money.

    Its not as if the jetpack is a nitros oxide powered jet engine. It is just an avgas powered twin motor-mower with the rotors turned the other way.
