Add Jetpacks To The List Of Personal Flying Machines Mar 08, 2010

Remember the game Jetpack? And remember how much you dreamed of one day flying to school with a jetpack, showing off to everyone, and then flying away on exciting adventures? Well, maybe I just dreamed of doing those things, but it looks like flying with a jetpack has become a reality.

Martin Jetpack – a company based in New Zealand – has been developing a prototype that actually works for over 30 years. And now, as you can see in the video below, they’ve achieved success. Though this achievement happened a few years ago, Martin Jetpack is expected to start selling commercially later this year. You can check their website here for more info.

Just like the flying car blog I posted a couple weeks ago, this is yet another device that enables the miracle of flight, apart from a plane. I can’t wait to try one.
