The Martin Jetpack will be unveiled at AirVenture at Oshkosh on July 29, 2008. This is the Ultimate Personal Flying Machine! After the unveiling, you can find out more at http://martinjetpack.com/
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.

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.
By pete401 [Affiliate User] 1217390230 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveOh 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 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!

By pete401 [Affiliate User] 1217362189 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveJust 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.
