The old Rocket Belt had about 8-9 minutes of flight. That's an expensive 9 minutes, but a figurative, literal and ACTUAL blast.50km, pretty quick as well!
It is very cool50km, pretty quick as well!

I’m not sure what the definition of “useful” would beIt is very cool
But it would need to be 10x the range to be actually useful
I'm not sure they've got the landing part down pat, as of yet. Jetman deployed a parachute after he'd transitioned to horizontal flight.You would land on the roof of your office building again starting a fire
Yes at about 2 minutes into the video he touched down after hovering but they haven’t tried a “powered” landing yet. Not sure if that is a technical limitation. I would think it would be very challenging to control the transition from horizontal to vertical flight ie VTOL aircraft and you wouldn’t want to run out of fuel 100’ up!I'm not sure they've got the landing part down pat, as of yet. Jetman deployed a parachute after he'd transitioned to horizontal flight.
Give 'em time, however.
