Ky Michaelson, aka. The Rocketman has designed
and built a Rocket Powered Chair, that will not
only hover but will fly. The big advantages over the Rocket
belt is that the Rocket Chair can carry more rocket fuel,
so it will have a longer flying time, and it will be easier
to fly. The standard Rocket Belt has two rocket nozzles
where the Rocket Chair uses four nozzles for more stability.
Ky predicts his new Rocket Chair will obsolete Rocket Belts
because of there short flight time and they are difficult
to operate, because they are inherently unstable. Ky predicts
in the future there will be Rocket men racing rocket chairs
and rocket belts just like the airplane races they have
today.
Ky built his latest masterpiece in his home
using a small lathe mill and standard hand tools found in
most garages. Ky believes the average guy with mechanical
ability and lot of common sense can build his own flying
machine for less then the cost of a good motorcycle.
