That's an idea. It can probably travel further and with a greater payload and less maintenance. Not far to fall either so no need for parachute. And cheap to run. Speed may be an issue- but perhaps you could get the mjp to drop one behind enemy lines and get the goat to do the last leg.

Alternatively a hummer with no exhaust would do all that is required, would be faster than the goat and quieter than the mjp.

I can see this will be disruptive technology to the goat industry.

Too bad a goat can't run on regular gasoline or fly...

Here's another article with some ideas about potential applications for the Minimoke Jet Pack (MJP):

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.

Better get your form in before the Google/Lockheed consortium negotiate their buy-in, minimoke!

According to this translated eastern-European website, the Minimoke Jet Pack (MJP) also has "special shoes and clothes" to go with it.

I think it works that if you buy a jet pack you'll get a free pair of nike airs worth $500 and if you order before the IPO closes Martin Will throw in an extra set of special clothes.

But mini-bro, what do you think about this.

I note, mini-brah, that the Hot Copper thread above cites this Wise-Owl research.

Better get your IPO form sent in quick!

Santa will have no trouble at all landing on the roof of your house with the incredible Martin Jetpack, but you're going to need one heck of a big chimney if our jolly bearded friend is going to squeeze down there with it. You'll need to be more than good too, as along with a whopping £127,500 price tag, initial Martin Jetpacks are aimed at emergency services rather than individuals. We really want one though - there's not a lot else that can recreate the giddy childhood excitement of heading out on a new bike on Christmas day - we reckon this would get close!
