Martin Jetpack Climbs 5000 Feet Above Sea Level

[abulmagd3]

Cant believe that someone funded this shit

[blueenergyshowtime]

Mass production? IPO? LOL. Don't know any insurance company wish to underwrite the risk. Also, aerodynamic save energy, this thing doesn't. After airborne, you need wings.

[Fbiman93]

PEOPLE WHO TYPE ALL CAPS ARE RETARDED.

[Julzso23]

looks like brilliant fun

[normellow]

So what's going to save you from falling 100 feet .

[TONYPARAMOTOR]

GLEN MARTIN PLEASE CONSIDER TRYING OUT A PARAMOTOR TYPE HARNESS .ITS SAFE AND MORE COMFORTABLE.

[TONYPARAMOTOR]

HELLO. WATCHED THE VIDEO. AND IAM VERY IMPRESSED.I FLY A PARAMOTOR AND THE HARNESS WE USE IS SOMETHING THAT MARTIN JETPACK PLEASE CONSIDER..WHEN WE TAKE OFF FOR A SHORT TIME WE RUN THEN HANG BY THE CROTCH STRAPS .FOR A SHORT TIME ITS OK.WHEN ONCE AT SAFE HEIGHT WE SLIP INTO THE HARNESS. WE USE A KICK IN STRAP. NO NEED TO TAKE HANDS OFF TOGGLES IN YOUR CASE THE HAND CONTROLS.IF U USE THIS TYPE OF METHOD IT WILL BE MORE COMFORTABLE.THEN WHEN LANDING PILOT CAN SLIP OUT OF HARNESS AND USE LEGS. :0)

[fuzzyhead562]

@TONYPARAMOTOR SO I HEAR YOU LIKE ALL CPAS, EH?

[TONYPARAMOTOR]

@fuzzyhead562 EH?

[yafooz]

Where do I sign up for volunteer testing of this :)

[charro20able]

nasecito unos de esos aparatos.....para no llegar tarde al trabajo

[chesterdrummer]

i won't one off those

[donahuerules]

they have dont have rights to play movie soundtrack music

[deullist]

Rocket activated parachute won't do you any good at less than 1,000 feet -- which is likely where most people would travel.

But, I like it!

[crazykiller9000]

The chinese are going to steal the plans, make it faster and cheaper and crush your dream...

[c0unterph0bia]

HE TOLD YOU SO!

[EwaltFpv]

yawn , they use the Thomas Scherrer LRS unit ! same one we use for FPV

[tougheaglefootball]

Wow that is crazy, but you won't ever see me in one of those that's for sure.

[Kap057]

A marvellous piece of engineering.. Goog for you to prove all the sceptics wrong !

I wish you guys all the succes in the world! :-)

[juki0h]

so.. basically its a helicopter?

[bigglikeinit]

not really a pack is it, more a waste of cash.

[edgargenovia2]

amazing

[karalnz]

Very well done dudes, I've been waiting to see this success for a long time and am so pleased for you all...... I WANT ONE!... :-)

A wingless bird known as kiwi lives in his own world where in his mind he does fly...... He believes, and now his faith has made it so!

[mrplease66]

I fail to see how this has any applicability in the real world. Greater machines have been built, tested and deemed pointless. Just look at the WASP flying platform: way more elegant than this over-engineered piece of junk

[74torana]

@mrplease66 jesus christ who took a dump in your cornflakes? If you dont like it, do better, otherwise fuck off.

[MOFUZION]

Where is the jet engines..? Jetpack?

[gaurdian22]

Jealous americanos!

[VavanNumber1]

Отсутствует защитная рама, защищающая пилота при опрокидывании, скорость срабатывания парашюта говорит о том что он не спасет на малой высоте.

[iancucornel]

Dear Santa......

[sahbablahblah]

Congratulations Martin, I have been following your progress for a while and you are really making a breakthrough in the future of personal aviation! Amazing work!

[jandaletto]

It runs on regular gasoline!

I don't wanna be the "green peace" guy... but WTF!!!

We are building the vehicle of the future...a sci-fi dream coming true...being able to fly from your place to the roof of your job and then to the neighbour city's favorite pub in a few minutes....AND WE AR DOING IT WITH FOSSILS!!!

I'm not an engineer of course, perhaps this is why I find this unacceptable.

[kevin71127]

BATMAN MUSIC!!!

[femanvate]

That's being flown by remote control and the "pilot" is a dummy.

Thousands of people have flown their remote control planes and helicopters over a mile high.

Wake me up when theres a human onboard.

[talesofhorror1]

Nothing to do here

[juki0h]

they probably will go out of business

[edugonch]

@Gunversatil El hombre tiene 20 años de estarlo desarrollando, para ese entonces los cazadores de mitos no existían.

[BoladedragonGT1]

GREAT!

[MCStickyFreakT]

good job mate

[5807en]

And of course, if a pilot expose to such a noisy environment frequently, he/she will need hearing aids someday.....

[5807en]

good job ! now they can think about establishing a company manufacturing artificial limbs soon after.

[AnotherNutJob]

Good job proving the skeptics wrong.

[NitroCharged]

Fantastic testing! :-)))
