Jet Packer
48-year-old New Zealander Glenn Martin spent 27 years developing the first "practical jetpack". He plans to start mass producing his device and selling it for $100,000 a pop.
Martin's jetpack, equipped with a 200-horsepower twin rotor, provides 600 pounds of thrust. For safety, it includes a ballistic parachute. He admits the device will likely give "somebody a very bad experience" at some point, but he said it's still the "safest jetpack ever built."
