Description:
For over five years we have researched and developed a milestone first responder product. We have produced an operational 3/4 scale proof-of-concept prototype of a micro turbine personal flight system (jet assisted lifting device), that will enable fire fighters, police, search and rescue, and military, to takeoff and land vertically, fly, hover, and reach difficult locations in seconds vs minutes, to perform reconnaissance, administer first aid, initiate extraction, and save countless lives. The design of this revolutionary tool is now ready for the full scale engineering prototype, manned testing, and demonstration. Born in the 1960s as the peroxide powered "rocket belt", the concept has engulfed the imagination of everyone as the ultimate form of personal flight, unencumbered by wings, fuselage, or overhead rotors. The device however, was limited to a 21 second flight. The technology is only now available to make the dream a reality and to produce an important and viable flight system. We require funding to construct the full scale demonstrator and to unveil the device in a mock rescue to the top of a modern high-rise building, for government, fire, police, and search and rescue officials, all in front of CNN. The rest will be nothing less than history and the investors will not only profit immensely, but will be written into history as well! We have photos, illustrations, video test clips, and an executive summary available, as well as the proof-of-concept prototype.
