Jetpack Aviation is the project of Australian businessman David Mayman. He spent his life in software and mining and fairly sensible occupations, but his passion has been to build a jetpack. Nelson Tyler, an engineer and inventor based in Hollywood, and Mayman got together in 2005 and that’s what’s made it possible.
Tyler had worked on the Rocketbelt flight project at the 1984 Olympics, and for the last 45 years had been every bit as obsessed as Mayman with the idea of building a proper portable jetpack with decent endurance that anyone could fly. And the JB-9 jetpack they have demonstrated that meets most people’s expectations of what a real jetpack should be.
Jetcat produces a family of jet engines composed of several models whose powers between 2 and 23 pounds of thrust.
The JetCat P200 was put on the market in 2010.
Applications: ACLA Sirocket Colomban Cri-Cri
P200-SX Thrust: 23 kg at 112 000 rpm Weight: 2.370 kg Diameter: 130 mm Length: 350 mm Engine speed: 33000-113000 rpm EGT: 670° C Specific consumption Full Throttle: 750 ml / min Fuel: Kerosene, Jet A1
A pilot of up to 250 pounds can comfortably jump aboard the Super Bandit. The single-seat, opened-frame can be equipped with a 94-hp EA-81 Subaru engine or it can morph into an ultralight with a 55-hp 503 Rotax engine. With the Subaru, it can reach 85 mph and with the Rotax, 63 mph. Useful load is 313 pounds with the Subaru or 348 pounds with the Rotax. Kit prices in 2001 were: Basic kit (without engine, instruments and propeller): $7500 Deluxe kit: $11,000
The JAI Stealth-13 is a sports and competition hang glider. Only one example was built, in 2005. The JAI Stealth-13 was built by the hang glider club “Ikar” of the Aviation Institute Kharkiv.
The Stealth-14 new deltaplane is a mast version of the Stealth KPL 2-14 model, built in series by Eros. The new model has a mast with longitudinal and transverse tensioners, but maintains the anti-dive equipment inside the wing.
2003 Stealth-14
In January 2003 Eros successfully tested the experimental Stealth 14, designed and built by the Club of Deltaplanos “Ikar” of the Aviation Institute Kharkiv.
The performance of this model is between the Stealth 14 mast model and the original Stealth KPL 2-14, being lighter than its predecessor. The new model is more maneuverable due to its lower moment of inertia. By using a low trapeze your landing is smoother.
At least six copies of the Stealth-14 were built. Three of them for specific clients (one was kept in Ukraine and another two were sold to Russia, flying in Voronezh and Ufa).
The cost of a Stealth-JAI ranged between 1600 and 2000 euros, depending on the wing cover, the composition of the structure and the packaging conditions.
The JAI Studient-16 (Russian: ХАИ Студент-16) was developed in the Club of Deltaplanos “Ikar” of the Aviation Institute Kharkiv.
Designed by JAI graduate Sergei Serguyev in 1998, at least five copies have been manufactured, of which three were sold to private hands after several years of operation.
The model had its rebirth in 2013 when the example known as “Proto” was built, followed later by “Super-new”.
The first Studient 16 was built in 1998 and named Zilioni (Green). It was the main training apparatus between 1999 and 2010. The hang glider was modified in 2004. It was sold in Voronezh in 2010.
The second Studient 16, named Shtil (Calm), was built in 2005. It was sold in Azerbaijan in April 2013 to a private club run by Jafarov Ilgar.

The third Studient 16, Novi (New), was built in 2009. It was sold in Odessa in August 2013 to Sania Sirosh.
Studient-16 Novi (New)
The fourth Studient 16, Proto, was built in 2013. On this newly created deltaplane, multiple-time champion of Ukraine Dmitri Russov tried to win the Grinienko Cup in 2013.

The fifth Studient 16, Svierxnovi (Super-new), was built in 2014.

The JAI studient-19 (Russian: ХАИ Студент-19) – was a tandem experimental training deltaplane developed by the Club of Deltaplanos “Ikar” of the Aviation Institute Kharkivm and built in 1998 by the Ukrainian firm “Eros”. It was never mass-produced.
This device has proven to be an excellent starter trainer for people weighing more than 80 kg. In its original role as a tandem coach, it is rarely used.
Studient 19
First flying in 2009, two JAI studient-21 (Russian: ХАИ Студент-21) were built for training at Deltaplanos. The first, built in 2009, was sold in Azerbaijan in 2010 to the Delta Plane Club of the Federation of Extreme and Air Sports.
2009 Studient-21
The second Studient-21 was built in 2014.
2014 Studient-21
The first JAI studient-13 (Russian: ХАИ Студент-13) Malysh (Small) was built in 2003, for “people of short stature and low weight”.
2003 Studient-13
The second Studient-13 Zaporozhki Malysh (Little of Zaporozhia) was specially built in 2011 for the Zaporozhie Delta Plane Club led by Vladimir Yefimov.
