The contract between Dubai’s civil defence force and Martin Jetpack is a multi-million dollar one, though no precise figures for the contract have been revealed. A total of 20 jetpacks, each of which can fly at a top speed of 45mph (72km/h) and to an altitude of 1,000ft (330m), may eventually be delivered. They will be used for search and rescue missions by first responders – peering into blazing skyscrapers for signs of survivors, perhaps.
