New Zealand inventor Glenn Martin showcased his jet pack at the EAA AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. After 27 years developing devices to fly, he hopes to start selling them next year for around $100,000 US. Powered by a water-cooled, 200-horsepower engine which drives the downward facing fans on either side, Martin's machines can run for 30 minutes, not bad when you consider most alternatives get you about a minute of air time.
