The former commercial pilot hopes to raise the funds to develop a jetpack, to be made available for consumers by 2019 -- for a mere £200,000.
The London flight marks the launch of a crowdfunding initiative to raise £300,000 in support of the project.
In a BBC article, Lucy Sharp from Seedrs Investment, the online platform hosting the crowdfunding effort, said of Mayman: "He's in talks with the U.S. Navy to give it a use beyond commercial flights.
"He's done over 400 test flights and they've all gone smoothly, but it is jet fuel on his back, so it can be dangerous."
