WATCH: Jetpack developer flies around Statue of Liberty in stunning video

The future is here!

An incredible video released this week by JetPack Aviation shows Australian entrepreneur David Mayman fly around the Statue of Liberty using a jetpack.

The company claims that they have developed the world’s first “true” jetpack because it is powered by a jet engine and is light enough to be worn like a backpack.

Mayman took the JB-9 for its maiden flight last Tuesday and made a splash by flying it around the iconic monument.

Mayman’s bio says building a jetpack has been a lifelong dream. JetPack Aviation claims they have been developing their product for over 40 years.

According to the company, the JB-9 pack is capable of vertical takeoff and landing and can stay airborne for up to 10 minutes at a speed of over 160 km per hour.

In a comment they posted under their viral video, JetPack Aviation alluded to the fact that the JB-9 may be available for purchase “sooner than people think.”
