Martin Jetpack: It lives!

Sure, it’s no flying car, but I’d fly this thing silly. The Martin Jetpack will appear on the 29th at the Oshkosh Air Show in Wisconsin. No further information is available now but if I were Martin I’d have launched this thing at Burning Man or something and really blown everyone’s minds. Oh well. At least Wisconsin won’t be a flyover state anymore.

Just the smallest of details, if you will, but I see no jetpack, I see feet being lifted off the ground, and I see a camera being carried across the grass by some unshown object. No jetpack, though. So this video doesn’t impress me a whole lot, no.

I saw it on ABC news this morning and will see it at Oshkosh. It looks more like a ducted fan back pack.

Not only is this not a jet pack: every video to date shows this thing “flying” a mere 2 feet above the ground with technicians holding on to the contraption.
Is the pilot actually in control of the device? Or are the technicians steering and is the jet pack only providing the lift?
This is more like the real thing!
