The Martin Jetpack

The Martin Jetpack is the world’s first practical jetpack, with potential usage spanning search and rescue, military, recreational and commercial applications. It runs on a V4 200 horsepower petrol engine that drives two ducted fans and can fly for more than 30 minutes at up to 74 kilometers per hour and altitudes of up to 1000 meters. The Martin Jetpack can take off and land vertically (VTOL) and because of its small dimensions, it can operate in confined spaces such as close to or between buildings, near trees or in confined areas. Each component or assembly has been engineered to be lightweight, strong and rigid. The composite structures of The Martin Jetpack designed and developed in conjunction with Dynamic Composites account for less than 30% of dry machine weight.
