Martin Jetpack Get You Airborne
The Martin Aircraft Company has created jetpack which can be bought by anyone who can pass the company’s own internal training sessions. The Ultralight jetpack uses a 2.0-liter V-four two-stroke engine that drives twin carbon/kevlar rotors and requires no pilot license. With 600-pounds of thrust, Martin claims its Jetpack can accommodate pilots up to 280 pounds and is expected to cost as much as a high-end car or motorcycle. The five gallons of fuel carried onboard will take you 31.5 miles in any single direction.

Aston Martin Cygnet Concept Revealed
Aston Martin Cygnet Concept
The styling is a bit iffy to put it bluntly. The typical Aston Martin grille at the front looks a little too big for the car’s size while scoops look a little out of place on the small bonnet. The rest of the car is pretty much Toyota iQ with small touches like scoops on the sides and reprofiled LED tail lights.
On the insides, almost every surface has been draped with expensive looking red and black leather. While still a concept, Aston Martin is hoping to put it into production by 2010 for European customers.
