So for quite a while inventors have been trying to create a functioning jetpack, with many resorting to strapping a number of RC model engines to themselves.

One of the inventors, Frank Zapata, just had a failed attempt to cross the English channel on one, failing about halfway through.

I think this deserves its own thread to keep track of jetpack developments.
