He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors to power the vehicle. In New Zealand, Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a fullsize prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1, 000meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour. The Jetpack uses a gasolinepowered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute that would be used, if there should be an emergency. It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot, he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.（1）We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbikecan hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklyB.has been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsD. .
