The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after the pilot of a Boeing 747 reported seeing what appeared to be someone flying a jetpack.
David Mayman, the CEO of the Los Angeles-based company Jetpack Aviation, at the time expressed doubts that it was actually a jetpack that was spotted by the pilots."It's very, very unlikely with the existing technology," Mayman told The Associated Press.
But in February last year, a company called Jetman Dubai announced that one of its pilots managed to reach an altitude of almost 6,000 feet in a jetpack. "This milestone proved that Jetmen can now fly directly upwards from a standing start without the need for an elevated platform," it added.
