Only founded in 2004, the New Zealand-based Martin Aircraft Company hope to be just 12 months off putting the remarkable Martin Jetpack into commercial production. Releasing new shots of the P12 prototype, the jetpack features a custom propulsion system, full body harness and ballistic parachute, they’re hoping to sell the Martin for civil defense purproses but also recreational models for personal flight too. The final stages of development are set to wrap up in 2014, so you’ve got a year to save up. It’ll be worth it.
