Indian Army shows interest in locally-made jetpack on display at Aero India

An indigenously-developed jetpack has elicited interest of the defence forces, especially the Indian Army which has called for a demonstration, the device manufacturer said on Friday.

Absolute Composites Private Limited which manufactures Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) has come up with the jetpack propelled by turbojet engines.

“It is a working model. We have trained pilots also,” Raghav Reddy, managing director of the company, told PTI.

He said the firm has not yet received orders but the Indian armed forces evinced interest.
