Like some sort of crown of thorns between NASCAR and Evel Knievel , Eric Scott ofJet Pack Internationalrecently set a fresh speed record for jetpacks : A surprisingly - fast 61 MPH .
The jetpack in question only has enough fuel ( mostly hydrogen peroxide converted to water ) for about 30 - 40 seconds of flight , so even though he claims the jetpack achieves about 800 horsepower , he only gets up to 61 MPH . Still , that ’s far faster than we would have recall , givenMark ’s experience , but evidently this is an only dissimilar kind of jetpack . [ MAKE ]
