That looks like so much fun but I'm sure you have to acquire balls of steels beforehand. Not the first time the duo have done something this crazy/cool. Its basically an advertisement for Emirates but its still a pretty dope thing to see.

Spoiler

Etihad > Emirates

Emirates has a behind the scenes video on their FB page https://www.facebook.com/Emirates/videos/vb.158307244279033/781263928650025/?type=2&theater

 

[DiipuSurotu]

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Perfection.

 

[AMUSIX]

Incredibly dangerous...I do like that it was a controlled flight (that is, they didn't just buzz a random jumbo).

Very cool video, though.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

How do these jet packs work? Do you just use them til they run out of full and then parachute down?

 

[Robdraggoo]

Thought it was real for a second

 

[RustyNails]

I think you just gave Tom Cruise an idea for an action sequence in Mission Impossible 6.

 

[jelly]

I would want to touch the plane.

 

[E92 M3]

That is fucking cool

 

[Casimir]

Thought it was real for a second

It is real.

 

[triplestation]

I'd wanna land on the plane and hump it and fly off

 

[The Chef]

K, now I want some footage of them ripping through the city.

Thought it was real for a second

?

 

[Volimar]

Don't they have to worry about, I dunno jetwash or something?

 

[Robdraggoo]

What, jet packs are real?!

Holy crap, how did i not know this

 

[RiccochetJ]

That looks amazing. I'd love to try something like that but I'm sure I'd wind up as a Liveleak video.

 

[Sàmban]

Thought it was real for a second

I'm pretty sure it's real. There was a guy who made a very similar looking jetpack a few years ago and it was a pretty big deal.

EDIT: yep, beaten by Casimir. It's the same guy.

 

[teiresias]

Look like Jetcat P400 engines or equivalent on the jetpacks. I can't imagine having those things running just to my sides.

ummmm..........what?!

You are correct

#TeamCG.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Man that must have been amazing for them.

 

[FStop7]

I'd do it if I get to fly alongside an A380.

 

[Moff]

of course it's real, it was just done as a stunt in a controlled environment and professionally filmed as an ad

no way that would be legal near actually full civilian planes

[cloud_sleep]

It's all fun and games until someone gets sucked into an engine and brings the plane down.

Tuts loudly.

 

[Majestad]

The future is fucking here.

 

[CadetMahoney]

amazing.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Added to bucket list.

 

[internetwolf]

WHY DONT I HAVE ONE OF THESE

 

[Stevey]

CGI has come a long way.

 

[Einchy]

I'm pretty sure Dubai and everything that happens there is made up.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

The future is crazy..

 

[Angry Grimace]

I would do unspeakable things for a jet pack

 

[RyudBoy]

Damn I need to do this before I die, or die while doing it.

 

[mcfrank]

But how do they see around their massive balls?

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

I wasn't aware jetpacks this advanced existed yet.

 

[MrCunningham]

And now we know what happened to all of those missing planes as of late.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

people think this is fake? youtube Jetman there are lots of videos.

this one is my favorite.

time stamped for awesome.

 

[Akiyama_AE]

Amazing I wish I could try something like that in my lifetime .

 

[Unknown One]

I'm pretty sure it's real. There was a guy who made a very similar looking jetpack a few years ago and it was a pretty big deal.

EDIT: yep, beaten by Casimir. It's the same guy.

Yeah there was an episode about it on Stan Lee's Superhuman.

 

[massoluk]

Man, next gen kids are gonna have all the fun. Jetpack, robot fighting matches, VR Porn, tranforming car, Mars exploration. I was born too early.

 

[RiZ III]

I had no idea such things existed I thought jetpacks were still a far off thing.

 

[Makai]

By the time we actually get jetpacks, I've become a risk-averse adult and wouldn't dare use one.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

god he sucks in a recent game I've been playing.

 

[MogCakes]

.

How are their legs not melting

 

[jetpacks was yes]

That's neat.

 

[Prinz Eugn]

Jesus, scary as hell considering the wake turbulence of an aircraft that big can fuck up other airliners.

 

[Brashnir]

What, jet packs are real?!

Holy crap, how did i not know this

Jet Packs have been around for a long time, bro.
