Jetpacks

About

Jetpacks are wearable devices designed to provide personal aerial mobility, enhancing transportation options by allowing individuals to fly. They typically consist of a backpack-style unit equipped with jet engines or other propulsion systems. Jetpacks have been developed using various technologies, including chemical rockets, gas turbines, and turbojet engines. These devices are fueled by materials such as kerosene, diesel, or hydrogen peroxide, stored in onboard tanks. The thrust generated must be sufficient to lift the wearer and the pack itself against gravity. Jetpacks are primarily used for stunts and demonstrations due to their limited flight duration and maneuverability. However, they have potential applications in search and rescue operations, military activities, and recreational activities. Companies like JetPack Aviation have developed models like the JB-10 and JB-11, which offer increased thrust and endurance. Despite challenges such as fuel efficiency and safety, jetpacks represent a promising innovation in personal flight technology.
