A jetpack is a device, generally worn on the back, that uses some form of accelerated gas to propel the wearer through the air.
Real life jetpacks
While it is possible to make a jetpack with modern technology, they are not practical devices due to fuel limitations preventing flights of more than a minute.
Example:
- Bell Rocket Belt
Jetpacks in Science Fiction
- In Star Wars, Jango Fett and Boba Fett use jetpacks.
- In Warhammer 40,000, jetpacks or devices with a similar purpose are fairly common pieces of military equipment:
- Jet backpacks are specifically used by Space Marine assault troops.
- Jump jets are built into some Tau battlesuits
- "Rokkit pakz" used by Ork "Stormboyz" are solid-state rockets strapped to the Ork with controls consisting of little more than an on/off switch.
- Anti-gravity wings are built into the armor of Eldar Swooping Hawk Aspect Warriors.
