It's not really a jet pack. It's more a thing you strap yourself onto than something you could carry on your back.

Would an A380 qualify as a jetpack if I managed to strap myself to its underbelly?

What’s the human/jetthingie ratio that turns it into a jetpack? :)

If you can't walk a mile wearing it, it isn't a jetpack.

Who needs walking? I have a jetpack!

If you strap it to your back, not strap yourself into it. In other words, you can walk around with it.

And it's also not a jet, but a fan. A fan-strap?

Nomenclature aside, it's still cool though.

Don't get me wrong. I want one. A jet-pack. Although owning an A380 would be really cool.

Now I just have to convince my wife.
