they were holding him down because this jetpack is currently UNDER DEVELOPMENT. in recent tests it has reached 5000ft with the potential for more. it can attain speeds of 100km. The company, Martin Aircraft Company in New Zealand, hopes to start selling at the end of the year. it will be the first commercially available jetpack
@TandemDawgBMG YOU'RE the retard for not understanding the sarcasm in my comment. Many people commented saying "those guys were holding him up!" they look like they are barley putting in effort. They are just stabilizing him and holding him down.
What I really like about this thing is that it is whisper quiet. Imagine 40 people arriving at work in one of these things, it would be like a butterflys landing on fairyfloss
watch him flip out of control. jet packs are almost imposible on the back and idk why people dont know this. it will puch the back up but not the front
@zbeauchamp its not "what they were doing" its what it looked like, and it did look like they were holding him up although we know they were not. it be awesome if they culd get more air though
@tisoy909 dude thats the most impractical jetpack there is, the martin jetpack can be used for search and rescue and other various things and can actually take and land on its own
You mean the contraption on his back made him weightless and his assistance pushed him up. Thumbs up to the guy who said i want one at the end because you cant fly with this shit...
To lift 100 kilos, and to fly for more than 30 seconds, a" jetpack" in the 1960 H2O2 powered style would not be feasible. This craft is extremely cool.
Actually, this is a lot closer to a *JET*pack. These are single spool turbines. I.E simple jet engines. And it demonstrates the future possibilities of a jet pack. GOD.
yeqah not a jet pack that classed as a vtol aircraft .... and he did fly ... not in the conventional manor but those engine lifted him ... the guys were just there to hold him steady
@NBAGOATS They held it down so that it wont drift into the crowd, they didnt use its full capability because its just a demonstration that those two engines can lift a person up and him him/her up there. The jet pack can go up to 8000 feet high and 63 mph for 30 minutes.
@HoOkEdOnBlEaCh Uhh,..ok. The question still stands. Do I have to pay extra for the 2 guys to hold the thing still, so that I don't "drift" into oncoming traffic?
Apparently this is a ground effect machine. Maximum altitude maybe 4 feet? Let me see a video of this machine flying higher. I would love to be wrong about this.
@Cefiay Define "fly". He was most certainly hovering off the ground. And what makes it not a jet pack? It's certainly using jet engine turbines. Fail my good sir.
@Designandrew there was just coming air out of the airplane on his back but it's like the 2 people are lifting him.
it was 395790546 times better if they had released him or better was: if they made the "backairplane" could go 9999999 km/ph and let him crash on the moon but thats too seriously. loooooolz see ya
@Cefiay they are NOT lifting him. That thing weighs alot. Go look up "martin jetback for VIP" and you can see some flying it untethered without guides.
haha they want to charge $10,000 for this experience ? I can get in a fricken airforce jet for less then that can this thing even fly out of its own ground effect ive had a bigger blast on a rope swing thanks I think NZ needs to go back to doing what its good at ----- sheep
Shithouse. I could fart my way to that altitude and i don't need two people holding me stable. I hope you realise what a monumental waste of time and resources this is.
HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN THIS MECHANICAL NIGHTMARE FLY HIGHER THAN 4-5 feet? or in a mild 15-20mph crosswind? They eagerly tout an 8000 ft. ceiling YEAH RIGHT!. That makes good press and sounds impressive BUT just once, I would like to see it fly out of ground effect! COME ON MATES! SHOW EVERYONE I'M WRONG! Hook up a retractable safety tether and take it up on a sunny day to 25 - 30 meters...Remember, the US had Moller's Skycar, now it looks like NZ has the Martin Jetpack! SAME DREAM DIFFERENT ERA
@airwalker13 I think I've seen this particular getup fly unteathered across a large yard, maintaining an altitude of about 6 or 7 feet...I'll see if I can't find it again.
@contributor34 Yes, I saw that flight 2yrs ago...Look up ( martin jetpack flight ) The pilots feet never get higher than the 2 safety guys shoulders as they run along side it. The guys appear to be of average height so I guesstamate about a 5 ft. altitude on that video..that's the same as today nearly 2yrs later! I just don't see any appreciable progress over that timeline. Maybe they should try 4 fans instead of 2, or use 2 much larger fans, then they can call it the Martin Osprey!
Much more impressive in the VIP video. This one looks like the two guys are keeping the jet-pack upright. The other one actually shows the jet-pack flying on its own. Nevertheless, that is amazing!

And flies longer abd higher then the rocket based jetpacks.
