Always wanted to fly? Well, your dream could soon come true as an Australian invention that flew around the Statue of Liberty using a jetpack is now finally available for sale.
In November 2015, David Mayman made international news and set a new record for demonstrating that he was able to use a jet turbine-powered backpack to vertically take off and fly up to a height of 200ft, where he circled the Statue of Liberty on Staten Island.
Jetpack Aviation, co-founded by Mayman and award-winning inventor Nelson Tyler, claims that the jetpack invention is the world’s only “true jetpack” because it looks and functions just like fictional descriptions of the device – a backpack with two turbine engines attached to it that propels the wearer into the air.
The JB-10 JetPack is powered by either diesel or kerosene and requires no licence to fly. In contrast, other jetpack inventions currently being developed require rocket fuel to work, are too big to really be called a jetpack, like the Martin Jetpack “personal jetpack” by New Zealand-based Martin Aircraft Company, which is powered by a V4 200 horsepower petrol engine controlling two ducted fans.
