The JetLev was the first hydroflight jet pack on the market, and its makers were awarded the first patents, in 2008, for hydro jet packs. The JetLev has the appearance of a typical jet pack, with two nozzles on a backpack propelling the rider upwards. It has an umbilicus to the powering jetski that provides the water for the thrust used. [59 ...
The pair began work on a backpack-sized jet that would takeoff and land vertically that would meet popular expectations of the science fiction concept. [ 1 ] Their first device was the JB-9, a carbon-fiber corset that straps to the wearer's back that burns kerosene to propel them for about 10 minutes, based on their weight and flight conditions.
He also wears a crash helmet containing hearing protection and the buzzer for the low-fuel warning timer. The rocket thrust-chamber's supersonic exhaust jet makes a deafeningly loud (130 decibels), shrill screeching sound, very different from the roar of an airplane's jet engine. The jet exhaust is transparent and usually not visible in air.
The Daedalus Flight Pack is a jet suit capable of flying, hovering and powered jumps. [1] It was created by British inventor Richard Browning , an athlete and Royal Marine Reservist. [ 2 ] The Daedalus is different from other manned portable flight packs in that it uses additional jets attached to the hands.
The JetLev is a water-propelled jet pack powered through a floater derived from jetski technology attached through an umbilical to the backpack which contains two nozzles and two control arms, in a configuration like traditional rocket belts and gas turbine jet belts. The JetLev also functions underwater, allowing users to dive into the water ...

Browning set out in 2016 to experiment with the concept “using the human mind to balance and control the body in flight structure”, adding power in the form of micro gas turbines (jet engines). His development journey, culminating in the first flight in November 2016, was the subject of a 2017 TED talk and the “Taking on Gravity ...
