Martin Jetpack 2015

Martin Jetpack, the world’s first commercially available personal jetpack, will go on sale in 2016, at a cost of around $150,000. It’s been developed over the past 35 years by New Zealander Glenn Martin who unveiled the initial prototype in 2011, which successfully flew at least 1,000 meters off the ground before landing via parachute. The improved version, the P12, was on display at the Paris Air Show in June, along with a simulator allowing the public to experience the Jetpack for themselves. It’s powered by a 200-horsepower V4 petrol engine that drives two ducted fans, enabling it to fly for more than 30-minutes at up to 46mph, and at altitudes up to 1000 meters.
