We were told to expect jet packs and rocket belts…empty promises from the World’s Fair. Now everything’s changed….Today you can fly.

Raymond Li First sketched out the JETLEV concept on a yellow Post-it Note in 2000. After seeing his masterpiece on paper for the first time, Raymond unceremoniously retreated, filling it under I for impossible by burying it in the trash.

The sketch was long gone, however, Raymond couldn’t shake his vision…he couldn’t shake his passion. Soon, he began conducting extensive research, concept development and testing on the first ever, water propelled jetpack. By August 2008, Raymond built his first, fully operational JETLE prototype. A few months later, video clips from these test flights leaked online and immediately went viral. Seemed the world was ready for Raymond and his groundbreaking contraption.

Your flight begins as a 200-Horsepower marine engine pumps water up a 33-foot hose at over 1,000 gallons per minute, generating over 420 pounds of thrust. When the water reaches the ultra-light backpack, it’s directed through two nozzles at up to 60 PSI. Aiming the nozzles creates smooth, stable turns. And the motorcycle-style throttle lets you climb, dive and hover up to 30 feet above or below the surface. The 5-point safety harness and trapeze keep you in optimal flying position, while the fuel-efficient motor gives you hours of flight on a single tank of high octane gasoline.

The JETLEV R200 is operated exclusively over water, learning to fly is exciting, easy and fun. And with JETLEV’s simple mechanics and smooth flight dynamics, virtually anybody, aged 18-80, can experience the thrill of personal flight. Priced at $68,500 USD.
