Question of the Week: The Martin Jetpack – You Know You Want One (Right?)
It was all the rage at EAA AirVenture 2008, and now it seems the Martin Jetpack will be available with a BRS ‘chute. This week, we’re curious how many AVweb readers would be willing to sink their (hypothetical) money into one. Plus: See what AVweb readers said about experimentals’ access to airport in densely-populated areas (last week’s Question).
PREVIOUS RESULTS ***
Last week, we asked whether certain types of aircraft (e.g. experimentals, homebuilts) be restricted at airports in densely populated areas.
Despite a few well-deserved chidings for not clarifying the difference between an "experimental" and a "homebuilt" aircraft (see this week's AVmail), we received quite a few votes in our informal poll. The largest segment of you (a somewhat ironic 51% of the voting population, believe it or not) agreed with the statement Homebuilts should have the same access as any other aircraft.
