Okay, so the personal jetpack is pretty cool, but I think the personal jet wing is even cooler. Although it can't (yet) launch you into the air, the four rocket engines (not sure if they're rockets or jet turbines) bolted onto the carbon graphite wing provide enough thrust to propel the pilot horizontally for 4-6 minutes at 115 mph, at around 8000 ft (after you've jumped out of an airplane first).

This little Dual-Fuel Cocktail Shaker airplane only offers bumpy flights — to better mix your drinks, that is.The fuselage of the craft is the cocktail shaker with a detachable prop-cap, and the wings are actually flasks so you can store two of your favorite liquids and mix on the go. The Dual-Fuel Cocktail Shaker is made from nickel-plated stainless steel and brass and features a retro-styling reminiscent of the dreamier early years of aviation.

You can be captain of this plane for $100, though drunk flying is a quick path to getting your license revoked. [via]
