Aviation: The Martin Jetpack

Filed under: Aviation,Video — Tags: , , — Matt @ 5:07 PM

One of the things I like about this is it’s ability to get an individual quickly and efficiently from a low point to a high point. To really have command of the high ground. A soldier could come in from a very high point, much like a parachutist, and have the ability to  precisely land, or back off–much like a helicopter pilot could.

Imagine the ability to instantly place observers or snipers onto high ground as the battle takes place?  Or to go and rescue folks with either a pilot operating the pack, or to use it like a UAV and remotely rescue someone? The delivery of life saving medical supplies/ammo/food/water etc. could also be accomplished. Lots of ideas.

The rescue feature is interesting as well. It is so small and maneuverable that I could see folks using this to grab someone off a cliff or a burning building.  That would be a great use.  Besides, it would be really fun to fly this thing around. –Matt
