Budding skyhawks will be able to snap up the packs, decades in the making, for a cool $100,000.

Martin says the machine can stay up for 30 minutes on a 19 litre tank of petrol.

Its ideal flying height will be between 500ft (150m) and 1,000ft (300m), although it could go up to 1,800m so, like this test pilot, you will have to strap yourself in tight.
