  • Martin Aircraft Jetpack
    The jetpack is the quintessential mode of futuristic transportation - and if all goes well for New Zealand's Martin Aircraft, you might have the chance to get your hands on one soon. Looking like one of Wile E. Coyote’s wacky gadgets, or a prop from a James Bond movie, the Martin Jetpack is designed to travel at 60mph and it can reach an altitude of 8,000 feet. This week Martin Aircraft performed a series of manned test flights and, if all goes well, they plan to sell their first consumer versions in 2015.
