Kiss the ground goodbye – Martin Jetpack takes flight

It’s up up and away for Glenn Martin as he showed off his experimental jetpack at the annual EAA AirVenture festival in Oshkosh Wisconsin. The “Martin Jetpack” can fly for several minutes and can cruise at up to 60 miles-per-hour. For the truly adventurous, the soon to be commercialized contraption can soar to 8000 feet, however Martin hasn’t actually tested it more than a few feet off the ground. Martin hopes to sell the jetpack for $100,000 a pop.
