If previous videos of the Martin Jetpack have left you wanting more, here’s more. It’s a minute and a half controlled float inside an empty warehouse. Sure, the guy’s only a foot or two off the ground but I’d still really love to take one of these things for a spin.
According to OhGizmo!, “The Martin Jetpack is capable of 30 minutes of flight at 60 mph” and can go a distance to an altitude of 8,000 feet. Apparently the company will ship the first ten units this year at a cost of $100,000 each, so start saving up if you’re keen on being the only person at work who arrives via jetpack.

Great job of making the support wires look transparent!
30mins of travel at 60mph = 8,000 feet?
Looks comfy also, handing by a strap around ur waste/body :p
They meant that it has a max altitude of 8000 ft.
BTW that range of 30 miles is based on a 5-gallon fuel tank, so it gets about 6 miles to the gallon. Not bad for a full VTOL vehicle.
Thanks, updated.
