Martin Jetpack

I've watched the last few years as Glen Martin has gradually moved closer to his goal and has done so with caution and safety in mind. All it takes is one innovative, creative mind and the will to step forward and try.

5,000 feet.


From Martin Jetpack:

Last year the Martin Jetpack flew to 5,000 feet - and parachuted safely down.
If you missed that, check out the video:



Next steps - expanding the flight envelope

Having shown you all that it really does fly, the focus shifted to the disciplined work of expanding the flight envelope - flying faster and in stronger winds.
Latest test flight

The Martin Jetpack is now flying regularly (unmanned) at 50 kph in winds of 15 kph with gusts of up to 10 kph. Check out the latest remote control test flight video:


Manned flight demo

We're planning a great manned flight demo later this year - probably in Auckland. We'll make sure we let you know.
What can the Jetpack be used for?
People sometimes ask what the Jetpack will be used for. As if fun wasn't enough. When Joseph Bombardier developed the snowmobile he thought they would be used by missionaries, trappers and emergency services. Look at where they are used now!

Help us get the Jetpack to market - we need 100 investors

Help us get the Jetpack to market - seeking 100 investors to put in $24,000 each Now we'd like your help to get this to market! Our plan is to release the first manned Jetpack in the middle of 2013 - suitable for search & rescue, police, and other Government services. The personal Jetpack will be about a year later.

We're committed to the
Martin Aircraft Company becoming a publicly listed company. Before we get to a listing later this year or early next year, we're seeking up to 100 investors to put in NZ$24,000 (about US$20,000) each. This will give us the money we need to complete the product and get into the market. It will also give us a good part of the spread of investors we need for a listing. The IPO will be to give us the money to set up production.

To be one of these 100 investors, you need to be an eligible investor under the securities legislation in the country where you live (in the US or NZ this means you have enough money - we can send you the requirements). An allocation of the first personal Jetpacks is being put aside for investors: that is, this is how you jump the queue!

Contact Glenn or Jenny to get your investment underway ... We will send you an Information Memorandum, you subscribe and we have a new partner on our journey!

Happy flying
