We never would have guessed that we're going to see a day when we would fly into the sky with a jetpack on our back, but it seems that day has come. Thanks to the Martin Aircraft Company and its Martin Jetpack it seems that we're going to see the day when we'll simply fly to the sky to our offices or any other location. Flying to work sounds great but Martin Jetpack still has some limitations that needs improvement.


This amazing jetpack can fly up to 8000 feet that will surely be enough for most people and their needs. As for the traveling distance, you'll be able to fly maximum 31.5 miles with this jetpack on your back. Another important factor that we should mention is speed, and when it comes to speed, you'll be pleased to hear that Martin Jetpack can fly at a speed of up to 63mph.

Martin Jetpack looks amazing but so far we don't know anything about its price or release date. Only thing that we know is that this jetpack uses full tank of gas for a half-hour flight, which is definitely a lot. We've all seen so many times in the past how jetpacks don't offer a reliable method of 'personal portable flying' but we really hope the Martin Jetpack will be one that will succeed in the near future and become commercialised.
