Martin Jetpack, the personal flying machine, has been carried out with some refinement over the past nine months. And it’s claimed to be ready to go on sale some time this year.
This jetpack has been improved for better accuracy in control. It’s now said to be able to fly for 30 minutes at 60 mph and travel a distance of 8,000 feet. These figures are much better than what were disclosed last year.
You don’t need a pilot licence to fly the Martin’s Jetpack. It has only two primary controls: left joystick controls pitch and roll, right joystick controls yaw and throttle. It runs on standard auto fuel. Each unit costs a whopping $100,000, and Martin is targeting to get first 10 units to go on sale sometime this year. A video clip is attached below to refresh your memory about the Jetpack.
