Calling all Flash Gordon gadget geeks, the latest “big boys toy” has just flown out of Silicon Valley with some nifty NASA engineering behind it.

The SoloTrek is a one-person air scooter that can buzz far over gridlockedstreets.“It’s an exciting time…in this monumental project,” said Michael Moshier,an aerospace engineer and former Navy combat pilot who founded MillenniumJet Inc. Moshier has spent more than three years and close to $1 million on his personal flying machine. Plans call for it to go up to 80 mph, climb as high as 10,000 feet and get about 20 miles per gallon of regular gasoline.To fly a SoloTrek, the pilotstands on two footrests, leans on a sliding backrest and grips handles that control the tilt and speed of Hula Hoop-sized air ducts blowing air at about 45 mph. Getting to work in the morning will never be the same again.
