To infinity and beyond; the world's first practical jetpack
After 35 years in development, the Martin Jetpack will be available to the public in 2017 and will cost around £96,000. The jetpack, which flys for more than half an hour at heights of up to 3,300ft, uses ducted fans and has a top speed of 46mph. This is the world's first practical jetpack and is able to be flown by a pilot or via a remote control. The jetpack can take off and land vertically, and due to its small dimensions, it can operate in confined spaces.
The jetpack was designed with safety in mind and includes protective bars and a ballistic parachute system that can recover the aircraft from a few metres above the ground. The company believes that this could be most useful for search and rescue operations.
The company has developed a series of jetpacks, all similar but targeted at different markets. The First Responded Jetpack will be the first commercial product and targets markets and environments responsible for saving people.
The Unmanned Air Vechicle version of the jetpack can carry commercial payloads of up to 120kg, making it suitable for first responder, military, commercial and recreation markets.
In 2016, the company will be offering the Martin Jetpack Experience, which will allow people to experience flying a jetpack through a simulator ride and a closely controlled flight environment. The jetpack will be controlled by automated controls.
