Sky Blue Jet Pack

By: Brianna Gays and Kevin Crowley

GM is releasing the first consumer jet pack Saturday. At $5,000, with 0% financing, GM's Sky Blue Jet Pack will revolutionize travel.

Fueled by solar power and diesel fuel, the hybrid jet pack can reach a speed of up to 400 mph.

The jet pack, which can travel up to 3,000 miles, can make the trip from New York to Ireland in about eight hours.

With diesel fuel at $2.50 per gallon, a jet pack flight to Ireland would cost $75.00 at against about $6,000 round trip with Aer Lingus.

At 100 miles per gallon, the jet pack is more environmentally friendly than the Honda Civic Hybrid getting only 45 mpg.

The jet pack is only available at Sports Authority and purchasers must be aged 25 or older.
