Martin Jetpack 5000ft flight - highlights
Loading...
Uploaded by MartinJetPack on May 28, 2011
To demonstrate flight high above the ground and the concept of the ballistic parachute as an emergency safety system, the Martin Jetpack was flown to around 1500m (5000ft), brought down from this height and an off-the-shelf ballistic parachute was deployed.The aircraft was flown by James via radio control in a chasing helicopter - also demonstrating the ability of the technology to apply to UAV applications. Jetson, Martin Aircraft Company's weighted dummy was on board, and the parachute was placed out front for visibility and weight balancing.The video features inventor Glenn Martin and RC pilot James Bowker. The jetpack ascended initially at 4m/s (800ft/min) and the climb took about 6 minutes. The parachute was deployed at around 3000ft above ground level. The aircraft sustained some damage on impact, but we would expect that it is likely a pilot would have walked away from this emergency landing. The total flight was just under 10 minutes.

Hello Gabriel, thank you for your interest in SkyLifter
There is nothing small about airships so we think they are only practical for mass transport - several hundred people at a time, and it will be many years until you see this as a common aircraft
in the meantime, have a look at this web-link below - note, technically it is not a jetpack, it is a proppack
Cheers
