This is a teaser video. The true unveiling will be Tuesday at Osh Kosh, where we can all be really impressed. You must understand that it's not a true "jet" pack, because there is no jet, but it may bring the Bell Rocket Belt type of flight to the average citizen. This is the result of decades of research and will be sure to impress, realizing that there are fewer than 20 people in the world who get to fly like this currently. If the price is right, put me on the preorder list!

Thank you joelglick! Very well put. Hope to see you on Tuesday!

@astanhope Sorry we aren't showing more. Saving it for the show. I'd expect to hear and see more on the 29th.

@tecaeromex You should be able to find out about the safety features very soon.

Probably the best leafs blower available today

Not a jet pack? What do you call a Hamilton jet unit? (google that) It blows high pressure water out of the rear of a boat. They call it a jet unit and the boat, a jetboat. And that was another New Zealand invention. You yanks are suckin on sour grapes.. Just because you didn't invent it first aye. LOL

Fake

I don't want to see it near my back yard... I want to be IN the jetpack in MY yard! lol

this jetpack resently reached an altitude of 5,000 feet in an unmand flight

[fictitious3]

yep, spend 70k on this and you need 2 goons to stabilize the flight on both sides while flying less than 5 meters off the ground. Been browsing all over youtube and I haven't seen any videos of martin jetpacks that can fly around freely and unassisted. Not even their own trained pilots.

Looks like a high school science project to me.

The "Bright White Light" may not be the best selling Tactic.

i like the other type better, at least you can carry it way easier

[Rapido3d]

The only altitude limit this can possibly have is oxygen starvation for the motor, if it can get you off the ground then it has the power to lift you to any height, I guess you could get it a bit higher if you compensate with NO2, but then the pilot would be finding his lack of oxygen a problem and he would be extremely cold too.

I am surprised they didn't use a wankel rotary but then they are less efficient.

[Rapido3d]

Not a lot of footage around of this fantastic machine flying, I see the website is handling orders for commercial purchases, when we will see a flight of some height and time? Give it to me and I will fly it across the channel to France, pick up my wine and fly it back, setting a world record at the same time, now there's an idea.
