Martin Aircraft Rocket Backpack: Take flight with a jet pack like Superman

Martin Aircraft personal jet pack

After drones have already entered commercial waters and are flying through the sky with action cameras, backpacking devices for flying known as jet packs or rocket backpacks, which do not carry cameras but people, are following in their footsteps. Thanks to the manufacturer Martin Aircraft, we will be able to transform into Superman next year for 150 thousand dollars.

Jet pack companies Martin Aircraft is the fruit of their 35-year long pursuit of man's eternal desire to fly, defy gravity and play modern-day Daedalus and Icarus. The most elaborate rocket backpack in the world has a built-in V4 petrol engine and through two high-performance fans enables flight up to 30 minutes. It can carry a heavy man up to 120 kilograms and flies at speed up to 72 km/h. Although we like to say that only the sky is the limit, but even here it does not go on indefinitely. You can get up up to 1000 meters high, which is a staggering figure.

The New Zealand company is its latest prototype presented at the Paris Air Show and also offered to visitors driving experience with a commercial jet pack. They didn't actually fly, but they saw the world from a bird's eye view through Oculus Rift VR virtual reality glasses, without actually leaving the ground. Although it was initially planned that Martin Aircraft would offer the backpack device already this year, it did 2016 he can no longer hear far away. And while a personal jet pack might be a little too expensive for the pockets of mere mortals (the good ones). 1300 euros), and the leading men for the device are mainly targeting hospitals or first responders, government agencies, police and firefighters. And they're probably counting on some rich guy with an adventurous streak like Tony Stark.
