A jet pack like that of a Harrier (a VTOL) uses a thrust that can be vectored downward for lift then vectored slightly backward for forward flight. If vectored all the way backward you may fall unless you have wings or hover thrusters.
A 20 second Rocket Hop jetpack design looks like this:
or even a Jet vest
Description:
Three tanks mounted on a form-fitting strapped fibreglas jacket or corset worn by the rocket belt user. The middle tank contain the pressurizing gas (nitrogen) while the other two hold the fuel (hydrogen peroxide). Jutting from the tanks and leading outward at each side of the operator are curved pipes with the small nozzles protruding downwards on each end, while two other, smaller pipes protrude under each of the operator's arms and have motorcycle-like handle grips for the throttle and directional control. For safety's sake, the operator has to wear coveralls, a crash helmet, and boots. The propellant is 90% hydrogen peroxide. High pressure nitrogen gas is turned on by a valve at the side and forces the peroxide over a small, built-in catalyst bed which decomposes the peroxide out through the nozzles as a powerful, non-combusting steam exhaust. Pitch and roll are controlled by movements of the operator's body.
Dimensions:
Width: about 18.5 in.
Len.: about 3 ft.
Wt. (loaded): 125 lbs
Thrust: 0-300 lbs
We have the gift to build what we want.
