Talk:Jet pack

The U.S. Military departments funded by them have built solar technology that is capable of fueling itself off of electricity and then launching themselves in a rocket-like manner.

However, when rocketbelt and jetbelt inventor Wendell Moore died in May 1969, the entire flying belt project was shut down.

Given that small TurboJet engines are commonly available for model aircraft these days, is it now feasible to build a TuboJet pack?

I am a kid ready for high school and i am already half way done with this flying machine —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bird moose (talk • contribs) 01:40, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply] I understood that the cruise missile was powered by the same type of turboject used in the Olympic jet pack demoe?Engineman (talk) 06:47, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply] The article repeatedly says that the cost of the fuel for a hydrogen peroxide powered rocketpack is one of the major negatives of this design - but how much are we actually talking here?

Martijn Meijering (talk) 17:34, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply] Can the flying tech used by fictional comic book character Iron Man be considered a Jetpack technology?

He is clearly seen using a jetpack in the movies.--Ickesshadow (talk) 09:01, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply] Didn't Michael Jackson use a jet pack in one of his concerts?

The hero uses rapid bursts of "Inertia" to slow his gravity-fueled descent and is met with grave concern by his love interest upon making a return.

In any case while the pic at first appears to be a good one, the object depicted is for the story "The Skylark of Space" and is not in any way a "Jet pack".

You cant fool those people in that concert they will sue you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2401:E180:8870:C985:92D5:85D6:EE10:F182 (talk) 02:50, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply] Does the Williams Wasp count since it was a jet powered functioning device which actually passed testing but was discarded as making it's user too much of a target?

The device had much longer duration that the "Rocket belt and showed promise before being discarded with the reasonable viewpoint that infantryman hovering low over a battle field would lack cover and concealment making them expensively outfitted targets for enemy forces to pickoff.

I am totally skeptical that given all the weight and the shortness of the wings that he could do any more than make an assisted glide at a steadily (if very slowly) declining altitude.

I can't read German, but source 18 appears to be a paper discussing Nazi propaganda films and has no historical evidence regarding the Himmelsturmer.

All of the information in this section is either inaccessible, unrelated to the existence of German jetpacks, or links back to this or this website, both of which have the same text and have no other sources that corroborate their claims.
