What Is Jet Pack

The equipment known as a jet pack, rocket belt, or rocket pack is worn on the back and employs jets of gas or liquid to propel the user through the air. Other names for this kind of gadget are rocket pack and rocket belt. The idea has been a staple in the genre of science fiction for almost to a century, but it didn't start gaining traction until the 1960s. Real jet packs have been developed using a variety of different mechanisms, but their applications are significantly more restricted than those of their fictional counterparts due to the difficulties presented by the Earth's atmosphere, gravity, the low energy density of usable fuels, and the fact that the human body is not suited to flight. Real jet packs are primarily used for stunts. As a result of the apparent lack of gravity and the absence of an environment that generates friction, the jet pack has found a useful use in extra-vehicular exercises performed by astronauts in space. A system that enhances a person's maneuverability and includes a jet pack as well as accompanying jets that are mounted to the arms is referred to as a jet suit.
