How you could own your own jetpack by the end of 2017

It鈥檚 something right out of the James Bond classic Thunderball, but the jetpack may actually be available to buy at the end of next year.

Former pilot David Mayman has developed his own, the JB-10, and told 5 live Drive it is 鈥渧ery simple and relaxing.鈥�

鈥淎fter a bit of training, anyone can do it.鈥�

However, the jetpack may set you back US$250,000, so you may have to start saving now if it鈥檚 on your 2017 Christmas shopping list!
