1998 the company was founded with the specific goal to research and develop a jetpack that could fly 100 times longer than the Bell Rocket Bell (26 seconds).
A team of innovative engineers committed to producing design solutions for prototype development was recruited.
The project captured the interest and commitment of New Zealand's Top Venture Capital Company. No 8 Ventures...(www.no8ventures.co.nz) in 2003.
A Board of Directors was appointed in 2004 consisting of Jenny Morel, Richard Lauder and Glenn Martin. Tony Marks joined the board in 2006.
