Jetpack Aviation company is better known for its jetpacks. Recently, however, it began to take orders for a flying motorcycle Jetpack Speeder. In accordance with the information published on the manufacturer’s website, they are planning to develop 4 versions of a hoverbike: cargo, military, ultra-light, and for active recreation. The differences between them consist of the maximum speed and duration of the flight.
Jetpack Speeder makes an impression of the device from the famous Star Wars movie saga. According to the developers, they invested their experience in the field of aviation and jet engines in this “brainchild”. The device can lift into the air up to 115 kilograms and accelerate to 240 kilometers per hour. It allows you to stay at an altitude of 5 kilometers for 22 minutes. However, at the maximum height, the pilot will be forced to provide himself with oxygen.
The first pre-ordered party will consist of 20 devices, all of them being designed primarily for entertainment. With time, military and commercial versions will also be available. First of all, these options differ in power. Special motorcycles have 5 turbojet engines, and civil ones have 4.
You can order the novelty for $10,000. Upon receipt of the order, you will need to pay $370,000. Jetpack Aviation promises to include all the necessary gear in the price. Customers can save money buying a suit and a helmet. The manufacturer offers jetpacks to those who cannot afford a motorcycle. They cost $295,000. They can be purchased now.
