Jetpack Aviation will begin selling jetpacks starting April of next year. The model “JB-10” has two turbine engines attached to the backpack in order to propel the wearer in to the air. In addition, the “JB-10” can be powered by diesel or kerosene and doesn’t require a license to operate.
One advantage of the” JB-10” model is it does not require rocket fuel unlike other jetpack manufacturers such as the New-Zealand Martin Aircraft company, which is enormous to call it a jetpack. The Martin jetpack, a personal jetpack, has a V4 200 horsepower petrol engine holding two ducted fans, according to ibtimes.
In addition, the “JB-10” presents 7 percent more power than its predecessor, the JB-9. The JB-9 model can fly you up to 305 meters (1,000 ft.) for 10 minutes. Compared to the “JB-10”, initial tests achieve flights over 10,000 feet in altitude, with the speed over 100 mph and lasts up to 10 minutes, according to Jetpack Aviation.
Despite the amazing potential of the” JB-10 model”, the commercialized version will have slightly lower capabilities. However, the jetpack can still remain airborne for 10 minutes.
Jetpack Aviation has been putting an effort on the “JB-10” jetpack for the last 10 years and has been finally prepared to sell it to potential consumers. However, the price of the jetpack is still unavailable and users are assuming that is a bit expensive. Although the price was still unavailable, JetPack Aviation expects to sell an electric version of the “JB-10” for about $250,000 to interested customers, according to CNET.
Just this October, Jetpack Aviation was seeking to raise £300,000 on Seedrs, an equity crowdfunding platform. As of the month of November, the campaign has generated £36,459. Funds will be used to advance research and development into the “JB-10” jetpack and to develop other potential vertical take-off and landing aircraft.
