Jetlev-Flyer is the latest must-have superyacht toy, that guarantees your charter guests have an incredible and exciting time on the water. The Jetlev-Flyer is assembled and built in Germany by the company’s engineers and experts using almost exclusively German made parts.

The Jetlev-Flyer is made with only the best material available. This is one of the reasons why the company have developed the Jetlev-Flyer for many years.

The Jetlev-Flyer has a two years warranty. The exclusive Carbon Fiber Version of the Jetlev-Flyer is now available for ordering from the MS Watersports GmbH Germany. The Jetlev-Flyer is made of the strongest and most reliable materials. Every part of the Jetlev-Flyer is painstakingly made with great precision. All the water seals on the Jetlev-Flyer are made with the same high grade O-ring systems that one finds in deep sea systems. To keep moisture out, critical cables are protected with military style braided stainless steel sleeves and the electronic modules and cable terminations are encapsulated with tough polyurethane. No expense is spared to make the Jetlev-Flyer system as reliable and low maintenance as possible.


Technical features:

– High power-to-weight ratio:

Traditional designs of airplanes suffer from low thrust-to-weight ratios which limit their performance and agility. Even F/A-18 E/F fighter jets can barely overcome the force of gravity. To achieve a dramatic improvement in this ratio, we decided to locate the propulsion source on a separate boat-like unit, and transmit low pressure, high flow water to the jetpack through a supply hose and generate thrusts by nozzle reaction force.

– Inherent stability and effortless control:

Even though the jetpack can generate upwards of 500 lbf (2220 N) of thrust for lift and propulsion, the flight controls are isolated from that thrust and only take a few ounces of effort to adjust.

– Simple, intuitive flight controls:

Fly-by-wire digital throttle control; nozzles angles determine allocation of thrust between lift and propulsion (forward, neutral or reverse); differential nozzle deflection generates yaw moments; and weight shifting from side-to-side generates roll moments.

– Flexible supply hose/tether:

A flexible water supply hose delivers power to the jetpack with pressurized water. It also serves as the tether, enforces a flight ceiling, discourages the pilot from flying over land, acts as a stabilizer, dampens vibrations, and maintains forward heading stability of the jetpack in flight.
