Martin Jetpack fires up the Jetsons generation
OF all the new small-scale tech listings, Martin Jetpack stands out in the “wow” factor stakes with the promise of an easily manoeuvrable, jet-powered flying conveyance for individuals.
Given that, we expect the $10 million-$25m raising ahead of an ASX listing on December 8 will be well supported, at least by anyone old enough to have watched The Jetsons on TV.
Invented in New Zealand, the Martin Jetpack is not so much a jetpack as a one-person helicopter-style contraption, powered by a petrol-fuelled V4 motor. The units can take off and land vertically.
