It consists of a purpose-built gasoline engine driving twin ducted fans which produce sufficient thrust to lift the aircraft and a pilot in vertical takeoff and landing, enabling sustained flight. F: +91 0124 4526060
I like it! The 200kg jetpack is powered by a V4 two-stroke engine, burning automotive gasoline. Soaring with a V-4 gas engine and two ducted fans, the Martin Jetpack reaches a record 5000-foot altitude. Initially designed with the leisure market in mind, commercial demand for the Martin Jetpack has seen the research and development programme focus on readying the product for use in a number of sectors including emergency response, defence and recreation, with numerous applications in each sector. The Jetpack is constructed from carbon fiber composite, has a dry weight of 250 lbs (excluding safety equipment) and measures 5 ft high x 5.5 ft wide x 5 ft long. During flight, pilots are kitted out in fire-retardant clothing and wear ear defenders to muffle the engine roar. Finally we can all take flight as Martin Aircraft in New Zealand releases the first commercially-available jet pack! Strangely, I can\'t imagine an electric version of this being at all practical. Sufficient power would just not be available. If a crash-landing is required, a pilot-operated toggle will rapidly fire a small amount of propellant deploying a ballistic parachute (similar to a car airbag) which will allow the pilot and jetpack to descend together. What a great way to avoid the commuter traffic jams. There is always risk associated with flying so Martin Aircraft has been careful to equip the pack with redundant systems that will take over in the event that the main system goes down. As sales and production volume increase they expect this to drop to the price of a mid-range car. I just had a thought. Martin Aircraft Company has built a team of experienced staff, executives and board members with a broad background in engineering technology, the aviation industry, business development and marketing.

While Arthur C. Clarke's satellites have taken to space, and James Bond's futuristic mobile technology has become common place, still the dream of sustained personal flight has eluded us. Would a deisel engine give better range? By "simply" blowing air at a high velocity downwards the jetpack pushes the pilot in the opposite direction (up), hence the name Jetpack. Compared to helicopters currently used for urban surveillance and search and rescue work, the Jetpack's hourly operating cost will be around 90% lower. In case of disasters the jetpack could be used to fly rescuers to areas where helicopters and planes can't get to. More recently, aside from the exploits of a brave few like Yves Rossy, attempts to realize a one-person flying machine ranging from flying exoskeletons to ion-propelled and water-drive technology have failed to gain momentum. There’s the Yves Rossi type with four small jet engines attached to a hard wing and there’s the rocket-belt type of the sort JetPack Aviation has demonstrated. This partnership will create a new globally recognized platform for aviation industry especially in India. Initial tests have been positive but the technology is unlikely to be implemented for another 10 years yet so for the meantime initial use will remain recreational as with jet-skis, snowmobiles and ultralights. However, despite being significantly less complex than a helicopter to fly as pitch and roll are controlled by one hand, thrust and yaw by the other, Martin Aircraft won't let anyone take receipt of their jetpack before completing their specially-developed Martin Aircraft Company approved training program. The Martin Jetpack is the world's first practical jetpack. This is the oldest known type of jet pack or rocket pack. Sector-51 , Gurugram
3 / 9. Like many science fiction concepts, the jetpack design has become firmly entrenched in the collective psyche: ask anyone to draw you a jetpack and they will give you a man with two fiery pods strapped to his back gravitating him skyward.
