No longer just a toy for superheroes, jet packs are coming to an airspace near you. The makers of the machine set to debut next year say it can travel up to 7,000 feet in the air at speeds of 50 miles an hour. The Wall Street Journal says New Zealand officials are scratching their heads to figure out how to regulate the devices. Pilots will need to be licensed, but it’s unclear where exactly they’ll be allowed to fly. VIDEO
