The Future is Upon Us

Martin Aircraft has announced that they are finalizing their prototype jetpack that they hope to begin selling within a year. While the first will be sold to emergency workers, they will be sold to wealthy buyers as well. The estimated cost: $100,000 (I would choose a jetpack over a Porsche any day). They will have a range of 31.5 miles (due to FAA Ultralight regulations) and a maximum height of 8000 feet. To see it in action, go here:
