Jetpack from China's Zhejiang University brings Iron-man dreams to life!

A team of developers from east China's Zhejiang University successfully tested a jet-powered backpack last Friday, bringing to life a self-transportation device that appears to be straight out of science-fiction.

Powered by turbojet engines, the device has been designed and built entirely in China by the university's JetRob Team and allows the operator to control the direction and altitude with arm movements.

The jet-powered backpack enables human flight for three to five minutes at altitudes below 1,500 meters, achieving a theoretical maximum speed of approximately 100 kilometers per hour.

The backpack is transitioning from laboratory research to commercial pilot projects, with potential applications in emergency rescue and special operations.
