Flying isn’t just for superheroes anymore. A personal aviation machine that made its debut at an air show in Wisconsin this week is raising the profile of solo flying devices. The machine — named the “Martin Jet Pack” — lets you soar into the skies for as long as 30 minutes and reach altitudes of 8,000 feet, its creators say. The Martin Jet Pack is far from the first personal flying apparatus to surface, and it’sprobably far from the last. Some say it’s not actually even a jet pack because of its mechanics.
