NZ jet pack maker floats in Australia

In the past, the thought of flying a jetpack was reserved for science fiction. But soon they could be far more accessible to both would-be pilots and investors.

Martin Aircraft's initial share offering is expected to close on Friday.

The BBC's Mauricio Olmedo-Perez visited the company's headquarters in Christchurch.
