Jetpack helicopter type



Australian company CopterPack has posted a video with a successful lift-off and a manned flight in a few seconds of its propeller jetpack.



The frame is made of carbon fiber. Powered by electricity. Judging by the video, the flight can last no more than a minute. The system is equipped with automatic stabilization. There is no more information available.



Under the cut are a couple of historical analogs of "helicopter jetpacks".
