Stay Fly With The Rocket Helicopter

rocketheli.jpg
Engineers at the Tecnolgoia Aeroespacial Mexicana think they've perfected a Rocket Helicopter that will allow humans to get their Rocketeer on.

The project dubbed the “Libelula Rocket Helicopter,” utilizes mini rocket motors at the tips of the blades, which allows the human-chopper to function more soundly than previous attempts at constructing high-flying jetpacks. If you're skeptical on TAM's skill-set they've already produced the Rocket Belt that was able to fly pilots weighing up to 300 pounds. The company is still working out the kinks on the Rocket Helicopter and it hasn't hit the market, so for now we can only believe we can fly. Word to R. Kelly. To see the original Rocket man that took flight in 1966, check the video after the jump.
