JETPACK AVIATION SELECTS B&H AS LOGISTICS PARTNER
October 19, 2017

Aerospace logistics specialist B&H Worldwide has been appointed as the global logistics partner for JetPack Aviation, creator of the world’s first turbine-powered backpack.

 

JetPack Aviation specializes in the design of micro-vertical-takeoff-and-landing equipment. The current JetPack model JB-10 is small enough to fit in the back of a standard SUV and light enough to be carried by the pilot. It can be powered by common kerosene or diesel, achieving flight speeds upwards of 100mph and an altitude of over 10,000 feet.

“We have always prided ourselves on being at the cutting edge of aviation logistics and this exciting announcement opens up a whole new world of specialist logistics,” said Stuart Allen, CEO of B&H. “We are delighted to have been chosen by the JetPack Aviation team to manage and deliver logistics services for these unique vehicles.”

 

David Mayman, CEO of JetPack, demonstrated the company’s design and engineering by flying around the Statue of Liberty in 2015.

 

“Whether we are enabling the extraction of Special Forces soldiers, moving emergency medics from hospital to disaster site, or commuters from home to office – JPA is focused on a wide range of vertical-takeoff-and-landing transportation solutions,” he said. “We are excited to have the B&H team help us achieve these goals.”
