Jet Powered Concept Wheelchair The Jet Chair combines todays advances in jet propulsion with modern wheelchair design to make a practical, general-purpose sub-sonic everyday chair. The wheelchair finally meets the jet age in this aggressively styled, weekend warrior -type chair. Perfectly at home in the Bonneville Salt Flats doing 400mph or cruising to the market, the Jet Chair offers something for everyone. Designed at the famed Lockhood Martin Skunk Works, the jet powered wheelchair was initially developed as a high-speed ground-based escape pod for the legendary SR71 Blackbeard. With the close of the cold war and no apparent use for the jet powered wheelchair, Allegro Medical sought the rights to produce the jet chair. The deal crafted with the State Department allows for limited production of the jet powered wheelchair as a recreational use personal transportation device. The stripped down civilian version of the craft is notably missing rocket launchers and heat-seeking missiles. Safety first. Always wear a helmet and fire-retardant underwear when operating a jet powered wheelchair. (Underwear sold separately). Experimental aircraft restrictions apply. Time out. We're kidding! This is NOT a real product. If you thought it was, please see me about a bridge I have for sale. We're merely showing this jazzed up wheelchair to let you know that you CAN make your wheelchair your own. Spiff it up, customize it! Short of adding a jet engine, you can beautify, functify and ratify your chair. Take a look at all of our amazing wheelchair accessories and start personalizing your chair today! Or, hey, upgrade your whole look with a brand new chair. We have plenty of those in our Wheelchair category. Take a peek. Click here to view Wheelchairs Click here to view Wheelchair Accessories Go ahead and write a Review of the Jet Chair! Oh, and while you're here, you might as well buy something. Anything. That would be great. We appreciate your business.

Wow! This baby will get up & fly!!!

"I'm just lovin' mind. I was in the market for an affordable light jet aircraft from Lear and Gulfstream but a buddy of mine told me about this and with some help, we mounted some folding wings, oxygen tank, altimeter, and even cup holders. After a few small tweaks and a little practice, this baby makes for some fast & fun jet flights! Were still working out the retractable landing gear but man, it's nothing b..." Read Full Review »

"Wide, massive wheel base offers good stabilty at speeds up to 350mph. Some vibration above 375. Steering consists of leaning left or right, works best on long, straight, low-traffic highways.



Could use a set of leg guards; suction from air intake is a hazard. Helmet & goggles a must.
