Get Your Jet Pack Now

Inventor Glenn Martin’s jet pack will soon be commercially produced at an undisclosed site in New Zealand having finally secured sufficient investment. The 200 horsepower dual-propeller packs are the brainchild of Martin who unveiled his machine for the first time in July last year. Because it weighs less than 115kg the jet pack does not require a pilot’s licence. It is capable of travelling 30 miles in 30 minutes on a full tank of fuel. And recent tests have seen the newest model reach heights of up to 2400 metres and top speeds of 60mph. Martin Aircraft Company chief executive Richard Lauder said the pack could be perfect for the emergency services, private users and even the military. “This could be life-saving stuff. For us this is an excellent commercial step,” Lauder said.
