The miniature jet-turbine back pack is fast,
powerful, and unlike rocket powered belts, safe
and practical to operate. Tyler and Mayman have
spent millions of dollars and thousands of hours
secretly developing the device which has never
before been seen in public. Their struggle has
been documented over the last eight years by an
Emmy-award winning film team. Becoming a real
life Ironman has been a lifelong dream of Mayman,
a successful technology and mining entrepreneur
who is also an accomplished helicopter and fixed
wing pilot.
David says “it was an incredible experience, one
I have been dreaming of since I was a young boy,
it’s the culmination of decades of work by
Nelson and me. But today is just the beginning.
We have established the company JetPack Aviation
to continue R&D and commercialize our invention.
We have just proved that personal flight is a
reality, it’s here and we will stay at the
forefront of this.”
Nelson added “it would be wonderful if one day
this opens the door to a vast new industry of
affordable personal air transportation with
applications for search and rescue, law
enforcement, disaster relief and recreation. We
will continue to develop the technology and have
already created an extraordinary machine, truly
the only jetpack in the world.”
