We were all aflutter this time last year when it was announced that the Martin Jetpack was finally available commercially and will be heading out to eager buyers in exchange for $86,000 . Regrettably, the time since then hasn’t been packed with bunches of happy new owners levitating at the power in their dual-fan-equipped Jetpack or even less encouragement are located at the product’s website, which still says that sales to personal individuals will begin just once “development and refinement” of the vehicle is complete. Hence, we’ve got video of the Jetpack’s latest test, which shows it elevating as high because it’s ever done, but even that’s tinged by the reality it’s carrying a testing dummy and is remotely controlled by a grounded human below. Ah well, a minimum of the corporate itself appears fit still and is asking forward to floating about 30 percent of its value at the local stock market which will gain extra funding. We get the sensation in the event that they could just start selling the darn things, cashflow shouldn’t be a difficulty. Video after the break.
