The jetpack can be used as an observation position for emergency rapid responders, to put someone on the scene fast and get around in disaster zones and high-traffic areas.
“Being able to fly it remotely up to the side of a building with a basket for somebody to jump into, or to fly it from one ship to another to transfer supplies or a person, I see a role for it there,” said Kluckhuhn.
The jetpack can launch and set up a miniature satellite that can remain stationary to help bridge communications.
Kluckhuhn met with Peter Coker, CEO of Martin Aircraft, to discuss the jetpack logistics.
“I gained confidence that this was something real based on what he said and the backing of 20 to 30 million dollars of investment they are putting into the machine,” said Kluckhuhn.
Eventually, the jetpack will be available for individual sales, but that’s last on the list of potential uses, he said.
For now, it’s designed for professionals “rather than somebody with a lot of money or somebody without a lot of common sense,” he said.
