Aircraft type

I beleive the description of the Martin Jetpack as a personal helicopter is inappropriate for the follwing reasons:

 1. From the Wikipedia description of a Backpack helicopter the helicopter has a rotor with all the
 associated structure and control system which the Martin Jetpack does not have.
 2. The Martin Jetpack uses ducted fans for thrust along with vanes for vectoring the thrust.

The reference to a personal helicopter and a Backpack helicopter needs to be reconsidered for this article. Comments? Mac160 (talk) 00:38, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd have to agree; it's rather more a personal VTOL aircraft than a helicopter. - The Bushranger (talk) 20:34, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Additional flight expenses

Are the two guys who lift you into the air part of the purchase price? If so, can you pay extra to get taller guys to increase the maximum altitude?Romaniantruths (talk) 16:52, 4 August 2010 (UTC) The "two guys" are not necessary, as you can see from the video on Martin's website. 76.28.72.87 (talk) 18:30, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
