Though they are using the latest technology, the small range planes and helicopters are known to have certain faults.
They cannot be used for all occasions such as emergencies due to accidents, rescue efforts after flooding/inundation in a place, or sending some important things for the army usage. They cannot be operated where are there are close-knit building constructions or narrow mountain ranges or between trees.
To solve these problems, a new small plane jetpack has been introduced.
Jetpack is made by Martin Aircraft Company in New Zealand.
This is reputed to be one of the 50 best discoveries in this century.
This can be operated unmanned through remote control. Otherwise, a pilot can stand inside and operate the plane.
It flies at a speed of 74 km per hour non-stop for half-an-hour.
It can fly at the maximum altitude of 3000’.
The plane takes off vertically like helicopters. It also lands in a similar way. It has parachute facility. It is considered to be the safest among the different small planes in the market. It can carry loads up the maximum weight of 120 kg.
Martin Aircraft Company expects great business, especially from the amusement park sector.
The plane is reasonably priced at 1.5 Lakh US Dollars.
This plane may be ideal for those have the means to own a small plane and have jolly good flights.
