Footage has been released of the Martin Jetpack’s latest flight, which reached 1.5 kilometers over New Zealand’s Canterbury Plains over the weekend.
For the most part, the 10-minute flight went smoothly, prompting the creator of the jet-powered engine to hail it as “bring[ing] the future a step closer.”
But judging from machine’s rather hazardous landing, it doesn’t look like the invention is ready to go into commercial operation anytime soon.
The video shows the 115-kilo strap-on aircraft parachuting to a landing by hitting the ground on its side with a loud thump.
