jetpacking

Strapped-on aerial propulsion

Jetpacking is using a jetpack—a device worn on the back that provides thrust for personal flight.

The term covers both actual flight with rocket or jet-powered equipment and the activity in video games or science fiction: I spent the whole level jetpacking between platforms.

Figuratively, it can describe moving with unusual speed or freedom: She's been jetpacking through the project.
