Jul 25, 2016 at 22:45 comment added TrEs-2b @Keltari Jetpacks do not exist. Who told you this?
Jul 25, 2016 at 22:44 comment added Keltari @TrEs-2b last time i checked, jetpacks exist , and have existed since the 60s. No one has burned their legs so far... at least not reported.
Jul 25, 2016 at 22:42 comment added TrEs-2b @Keltari last time I checked jets are both fast and hot. Things going fast tend to have a tough time slowing down and things that are hot tend to burn puny human legs.
Jul 25, 2016 at 22:40 comment added Keltari why do you think they arent feasible? Why do you think take offs and landings are a problem?

Jul 25, 2016 at 19:45 comment added MichaelK You need to find a fuel that is much higher in energy density than what exists today. The big problem with jetpacks is that it is very "expensive" to create lift that way; it uses up your fuel very quickly. But should you find some kind of fuel that has, say, 10 times more energy per kg, then we're talkin'.
