Martin Aircraft Company P12 Jetpack
Martin Aircraft Company
In truth, ducted fans, not jets, propel Martin Aircraft’s creation, but who cares? It’s the jetpack dream made real. With computer-assisted flight controls, an auto- throttle system, a carbon Kevlar roll cage, and a parachute (it can soar to 8,000 feet at 63 miles per hour), the P12 is the first personal-flight device that a sane human might volunteer to fly. And this year, a test pilot stepped onto the frame, strapped on the harness, and did just that.
