Under an agreement signed with the Dubai government, the world’s first jetpack race will take place on February 28 as part of the Dubai Boat Show in the area between Dubai Port and Skydive Dubai.
Ahmed Al Shehhi, a pilot from the United Arab Emirates, has started training at Gravity in the UK and plans to participate in the race with seven other pilots.
How Much is the Jetpack Price?
The jetpack, which attracts attention with its features and design, has a price tag of 483 thousand dollars. It should be noted that this price does not include tax. It is also possible to use the jetpack in question for a day for 3 thousand 500 dollars.
