This is the way to fly

There is not much to say about this as the images say it all, this is JetLev and as you can it is totally awesome. Imagine flying around the local river with this device it is just super cool. Its power comes from an engine mounted on a float, this forces the water through the mechanism and you are flying. If you really should not be spending $160,000 then it is best not to test this machine.
