Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Sudan<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Leigh Coates says that when you speed through the air wearing a jetpack it feels as if you are able to fly like a superhero.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an incredible feeling,\u201d says the retired US helicopter pilot. \u201cYou really do feel as if you can fly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are really difficult to use though, to begin with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jetpacks first thrust into public consciousness around the world back in 1965, thanks to the James Bond movie, Thunderball.<\/p>\n

The super spy, then played by the late Sean Connery, is chased by gunmen onto the roof of a French chateau, from where he straps himself into his jetpack to fly off and escape.<\/p>\n

Providing a dramatic start to the film, the jetpack in question, a Bell-Textron, had been developed as a \u201cman rocket\u201d for the US Army in the 1950s.<\/p>\n

While the US military ultimately deemed that it was too dangerous to use, it did the trick for secret agent 007, or at least Connery\u2019s stunt double.<\/p>\n

Now 56 years later, jetpack technology has advanced considerably, and the equipment is being tested for a variety of specialist uses, such as the rapid deployment of rescue personnel in emergency situations, or for defence forces.<\/p>\n

In fact, a dramatic video last month showed a Royal Marine testing out a jetpack to assist in maritime boarding operations, eliminating the need to descend on a rope from a helicopter.<\/p>\n

What, however, is rarely discussed is the potential recreational use of jetpacks. Observers often point to a number of problematic issues, ranging from safety and environmental concerns \u2013 after all, you have a jet engine strapped to your back \u2013 to regulatory hurdles, and air traffic control issues.<\/p>\n

Yet, two firms, one in the US, and one in the UK, are now allowing members of the public to pay to try out a jetpack, albeit with the user attached by wires to a large metal frame to prevent them from flying off uncontrollably.<\/p>\n

Could this grow in popularity? And will the tethers be removed?<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that this technology will first be used in special cases, before finding a broader use in recreation,\u201d says Benjamin Akih, an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Syracuse University in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thinking of fire-fighters, medical and rescue personnel, or possibly law enforcement\u2026 extensive use of jetpacks in these specialised cases may promote their adoption in other areas, such as recreation and personal travel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Levine, a trends expert with the Avant-Guide Institute, a New York City-based consultancy that focuses on travel and consumer trends, said that while mass-produced recreational jetpacks are unlikely, tailor-made \u2013 and extremely expensive \u2013 jetpack \u201cexperiences\u201d will become increasingly common. And users won\u2019t be tied down.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in the next five years, deep-pocketed thrill-seekers will be able to rent jet packs in some country where insurance companies won\u2019t spoil the fun,\u201d he says. \u201cMy eye is on Dubai,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the tech is easy enough for the average Jane, personal propulsion vehicles will find a place \u2013 primarily as thrill rides.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Tech Economy is a series exploring how technological innovation is set to shape the new emerging economic landscape.<\/p>\n

Among the firms already well-established in the jetpack space is California-based, Jetpack Aviation, which was founded in 2015. It has already produced a number of versions of its \u201cJB\u201d series jetpack.<\/p>\n

In addition to considering opportunities in the military and emergency services sectors, the company allows members of the public to be trained to use its Federal Aviation Administration-approved JB10, a twin-turbojet engine jetpack, that runs on kerosene or diesel.<\/p>\n

JetPack Aviation founder and chief executive David Mayman says the firm has been \u201coverwhelmed\u201d by demand for its two days of training and \u2013 tethered \u2013 flights.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re overcapacity in terms of the number of people we can take. It\u2019s gone crazy,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Mayman, the jetpack \u2013 which his company touts as a \u2018\u201dSegway in the sky\u201d \u2013 is intuitive to fly. Thrust and speed are controlled with the pilot\u2019s right hand, and directional movement by the left.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a computer screen provides the user with information including the fuel level, engine, exhaust gas temperatures and battery status.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe average person, of average size and average health, will have no problems,\u201d says Mr Mayman. \u201cThat\u2019s based on the number of people we\u2019ve already trained.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou certainly don\u2019t need to be a trained aviator, or an existing pilot. In fact, that sometimes slows people down because they have to unlearn a bunch of things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jetpack Aviation has now trained about 80 people, and Mr Mayman says that a number of promoters have approached him about setting up experience operations in countries including Japan and Australia.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t cheap though, with the firm charging $4,950 (\u00a33,600) for the two days training.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an expensive exercise for us to run, because it\u2019s expensive technology,\u201d says Mr Mayman. [But] I think that over time it would become more affordable [thanks to future technological advances].\u201d<\/p>\n

In the UK, a rival firm called Gravity Industries also allows members of the public to try out its jetpack, although, again, with the user attached to a safety wire.<\/p>\n

Both Gravity, which provides the jetpack being tested by the Royal Marines, and JetPack Aviation also say they are starting racing leagues. These will take place over water, for safety reasons.<\/p>\n

Gravity had in fact planned to host its first race in Bermuda back in March 2020, but it had to be put on hold because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The firm\u2019s founder, Richard Browning, a former oil trader and Royal Marine reservist, says that the planned race series will likely involve training members to the public to compete in events.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to let this evolve pretty organically, but we imagine we\u2019ll be training lots of members of the public,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey tend to be wealthy, charismatic kinds of men and women. Once they\u2019re trained, we\u2019d want to meet up in iconic locations like Monaco, or the San Francisco Bay Area. We\u2019d have a jetpack in their company colours prepared for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The race itself, he added, would likely involve jetpack-equipped racers swooping around pylons and performing manoeuvres for the duration of the jetpack\u2019s flight time, which at the moment is approximately five or six minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would be something that can pop up once every couple of months in different, great locations around the world,\u201d Mr Browning adds. \u201cThat\u2019s the sort of model we were looking at. We want to demonstrate this, rather than hypothesize.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leigh Coates hopes to compete in Gravity Industries\u2019 races. She was in fact the first woman to fly Gravity\u2019s jetpack un-tethered, back in 2019.<\/p>\n

She has also flown, attached to a safety wire, with JetPack Aviation, back in 2018, for whom she was also the first woman to use its jetpack.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was my childhood dream to fly jetpacks,\u201d says Ms Coates, who lives in Alaska. \u201cSo when I found out about these two firms I leapt at the chance.\u201d<\/p>\n
