Sneak Preview of the Martin Jetpack

when you get the price down to about $10,000.
It won't be "the ultimate personal flying machine" until it's affordable.

Be nice if you could carry it, too.

That said, way cool!

You're piece of work mate.

Why has it had world wide attention then? Please tell us.. I think you're being a little premature. Lets see if he sells any. Good luck to him. There is nothing else in the world that can do what this "leaf blower" can. =) You're aloud your opinion. But I don't think your thoughts on this machine are common.

Oh wow....a $100K jet pack that hovers a whopping 3 feet off the ground and requires 2 F****ts to follow you around in case you get a boo-boo.....this thing is a hyped-up piece of S**t and so is the inventor.

I'd like to see you SPELL better, douchebag....

I just watched the actual unveiling of the jetpack at the show and it is neither revolutionary nor a JETPACK...it seems more like a leaf blower attached to your back. Sorry, folks, but I was terribly underwhelmed by the unveiling of this gas-guzzling, noise-polluting monster. Nice try, but it is just simply not practical.

only gets 3 feet off ground...

also needs stability control, a
computer to control throttles like
they use in the eurocopter-
that means you just concentrate on where you going rather than fighting for stability...

but still doesn't explain the altitude limit??

He's suspended from a crane!

Wishing you all the best with your exciting project. I Look forward to seeing the footage from todays demonstration. :-)

John Britten's Motorbike came out of Christchurch, New Zealand. Now Glen Martin's JetPack!! Absolutely Positively CHRISTCHURCH!!

Just saw it on the news and it can fly for 30min compared to the russian pack that could only fly 25sec but that was back in the 60's.

Only thing is they don't show that there's 2 guys on the side of him keeping it stable which they showed on the news but still hope he does good out of it.

Looks much the same as the Trek Springtail.
