Martin Jetpack isn’t a new story, it is a tale we have always longed to be realized. Thriving on the great response makers have achieved, Martin Aircraft Company has developed another personal jetpack that could make it to stores anytime soon (most likely by next year). New Zealand–based personal aviation brand has created the P12 prototype, which has received approval for manned test flights. The P12 jetpack under testing features a gasoline engine that powers twin-ducted fans necessary for flight.
According to Martin Aircraft, the vision is basically to create an unmanned remote-controlled jetpack, however for now the jetpack is being created for commercial and recreational use and will also be used for emergency, rescue and defense operations. For safety of the user, the P12 has a rapid deploying parachute and roll cage structure, and it is also sold with a complimentary training program.
The unmanned P12 jetpack can reach about 1,500 meters high, but the test flight with a pilot will be limited to six meters, which can be extended to about 25 miles above water. Martin Aircraft could price the P12 jetpack at $100,000, when it goes on sale for government users including Search, Rescue and Police.
