Jetpack Test Flight Footage - Neatorama

(YouTube link)

Finally, the future is making good on that jetpack promise. This is video footage of Jetson, a weighted test dummy, flying in the Martin Jetpack to 1500 feet, then performing an emergency landing with a ballistic parachute. The total flight lasted around 10 minutes.

And now that this is all in order, I'd like to request my own hoverboard and robot nanny. Thank you.

Why the 'chute? Did they lack the faith that they could land the thing?

A ducted-fan-pack is NOT a jetpack!

I can parasail for 1/2 an hour, more if the winds are good, it is noiseless and the landing is much smoother. This is just a noisy motor attached to the back of guy.
