Future of Air Assault / Jet pack (jet board) soldiers - video

There was a technology demonstration at SOFIC in March this year.
Fairly impractical at this point militarily as the user needs their hands to control the jets.

Unlike motorcycles and parachutes ... :D

Still, the hands-free issue is the reason I prefer Zapata's French Hoverboard over Browning's British Jet Pack

Although the Brits are closer to this:

Still interesting that the days of โ€˜Rocketmanโ€™ are coming closer

Agreed -


If nothing else I can see having a hoverboard or jet pack or two on hand in stores with the rubber dinghies. An alternative to having to swim a line across a river and anchor it. Or, as noted, just a faster way to get to the top of a mountain.
