fake
Do you have some knowledge or a link you can share with us that says
it is fake and gives some evidence? Because nothing being shown is
physically impossible. Last year we had the JB-9 jetpack flying
around the Statue of Liberty. 2 x AMT Nike engines for 160 Kg thrust.
Was that fake too? The guy with the jet powered wingsuit, Yves Rossy?
This thing could use 4 x AMT Titan engines for 160Kg total thrust.
Someone has gone to a lot of trouble for a fake. Note the two
electric ducted fans either side for yaw control, the hand held controllers.
There's another vid showing the takeoff.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn99MimWOxA Note the gridded
takeoff platform to prevent hot gas re-ingestion into the engines.
Zapata Racing, the company involved already make various water
powered jetpacks for recreational use. Water is pumped through a hose
and ejected downwards for thrust. So the pilot is likely an
experienced jetpack/platform user.
