  Flight-Ready Speeder VTOL Source:  Mayman Aerospace Brand New Way to Travel  California-based Mayman Aerospace, a JetPack company, has debuted its Speeder Air Utility Vehicle (AUV) prototype that is ready to fly.  Called the Speeder P2, the vehicle is a brand-new class of aircraft. It is a VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft that offers both autonomous and remotely piloted flights. It is significantly less expensive and much smaller than a helicopter and faster and more powerful than eVTOLs and drones. Currently its 8 jet engines are powered on regular, zero net carbon or sustainable aviation fuel.  Mayman is also exploring hydrogen turbine engines and electric fanjets as a power source. For manufacturing production, the company says the P2 lends itself to quickly deployed economies of scale. P2 is an aviation gamechanger with widespread applications and configurations, including for industrial cargo transportation and as personal flying craft for the military, law enforceme

Jet Pack Aviation's Personal Air Mobility Source:  Jet Pack Aviation New Mode of Flying - SPEEDER Jet Pack Aviation of California is in the business of inventing jet packs as a new means of transportation for consumers and the military.  Their latest flying model - the Recreational SPEEDER, they say, is like riding a motorcycle in the sky.  It's the first turbine powered, fully stabilized VTOL (vertical take off and landing) personal aircraft ever built.  Because it is fully stabilized, very little training to fly it is required.  The vehicle is in the flight testing phase.  It is a brand new form of personal air mobility. Consumer and Military Versions of SPEEDER SPEEDER has a maximum speed of 150 mph, a range/endurance of 30 minutes and maximum thrust of 1200 pounds.  As it's a VTOL, it can take off and land almost anyplace and can fly up to 15,000 feet in altitude. There are two recreational versions.  An ultralight version that requires no pilot's
