Move over James Bond! World's first hands-free JETPACK prototype is unveiled
From James Bond to The Jetsons, jetpacks have been a staple feature in blockbuster movies for years. Now, the technology is slowly but surely becoming a reality, with one company unveiling what it claims is the world's first hands-free jetpack prototype. Maverick Aviation has developed a device called the Maverick Jetpack, which it claims will travel at speeds of up to 30mph and could be ready by 2022. Unlike most existing jetpacks, which require intense training to get the hang of, the Maverick Jetpack has an in-built autopilot system and is intuitive to control, according to the team. The developers believe the device could be used to enter structures that are difficult to access in the near future, including wind turbines and construction sites.
