'A Cessna aircraft will cruise at 120 mph. We’re doing nearly four times that.'
David Mayman, the founder of JetPack Aviation, says he fell in love with flight because with three uncles and a cousin employed as pilots, it's in his blood.
There's just one problem with this unusual career: Mayman himself is afraid of heights. In an interview primarily focused on JetPack Aviation's new flying motorcycle, called the Speeder, Mayman told us how he overcame that fear, why global military clients are purchasing Speeders for emergency response, and what he thinks aviation's future will look like.Let’s talk about the flying motorcycle. Who is it meant for?: The Speeder is an aerial utility vehicle.
It’ll have a seat and flight controls. It won't be piloted at first. I’d love to, but the FAA has a pretty strict process. As a commercial aviator I need to take that seriously. It'll be either fully autonomously making its own decisions or remote-flown by a pilot. That could be with VR goggles or just watching the aircraft.: I think we’re going to look at certification toward end of next year. Certification can take six months to a year, then after that go into production.
