Stepping away from the classical jetpack design for a moment, we see the wonder that is the "Puffin" - a personal flight vehicle that's essentially a miniature aeroplane. This unusual looking vertical take-off and landing vehicle was little more than a concept, but certainly looks a look safer than many of the other flight vehicles on our list.

The design was intended to be lightweight and fast, with electric motors built to drive the personal flight vehicle at cruising speeds of 150mph to a maximum distance of around 50 miles before it needed recharging. Wouldn't it be incredible to take one of these for your daily commute?
