    Who wants to build a real Jetpack?

    ok. I think it could be worth taking a closer look at the structure itself. It may be suitable to be reused as the core structure o hold the fuel tank and engine carrier arms. Gonna do some research on that. Additionally, Mario from Frank turbine got back to me and confirmed the release of the...

    What I wanna do is actually quite similar to these water jetpacks.

    Who wants to build a real Jetpack?

    I don't have experience in aviation that is the whole reason why I have opened this thread inside an engineering forum. To find people with experience and whiling to invest a bit of time.

    And because it will take a long time, it's better to start sooner than later. A smaller-sized prototype won't consume that much resources to build and is a good start to test the concept.

    I mean Richard browning also started from similar grounds.

    I never thought that it'll be easy. My goal is to become a competitor to gravity. Of course the developement will consume enormous amounts of money and years of time but that's not gonna to stop me from doing it.

    Like I wrote, the engines are not fixed in one position and the thrust can be directed and controlled with multiple methods.

    Who wants to build a real Jetpack?

    Yep, will be a hell of a balancing job for the computer and actuators to perform to stabilise the pilot. There are a lot of factors going into flight stability. As the fuel tank gets lighter and lighter during flight. The center of mass will move closer and closer towards the pilot. But, even...

    Who wants to build a real Jetpack?

    Thank you for your input! Based on the definition you gave for the different terms I want to build a Jetpack. The drone with the cable is also a good idea but not what I have in mind. I want to mount the engines on the tips of two wings that extend from a fuel tank at the center of my back. The...
