National Aviation Day
National Aviation Day on August 19th recognizes the pioneers of human flight. The physics of flight and propulsion play key roles in who became pioneers. George Cayley used aerodynamics while designing fixed-wing aircraft. His designs would later inspire Orville and Wilbur Wright. To commemorate National Aviation Day we are bringing your attention to another pioneer - Jetpack Aviation. Small enough to fit in the trunk of a car, their JetPack is capable of carrying its pilot thousands of feet above the ground. Early testing of JetPack Aviation’s JB-10 indicate that it can achieve flights over 10,000 feet in altitude, at speeds greater than 100 mph, and with an endurance of 10 minutes.
