How Jetpacks could shape the future of personal transport
Mayman doesn't just see a future for jetpacks, he sees the future centered around jetpacks and other VTOL technology he's working on today.
As Mayman told us earlier this year, Jetpack Aviation is actually about much more than just jetpacks. He explained at length the company's plan to introduce a manned, multi-rotor Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) vehicle. Often referred to as "flying cars," these are the type of vehicles that Uber hopes to ferry customers around in about a decade or so from now.
You can find all the details of Jetpack's VTOL project in our earlier coverage, but this month we pressed Mayman on his vision of the future and where the projects he's working on today might fit into the grand scheme of our lives tomorrow.
First up, ahead of the VTOL concept, is a battery-powered Jetpack dubbed JB-12 that, unlike the JB-10 turbine version we saw demonstrated, uses ducted fans for thrust instead. This could be the first product that Jetpack Aviation actually offers to regular consumers on the mass market.
