rocket-pack
Wearable flight device
A rocket-pack is a device strapped to a person's back that uses rocket propulsion for flight—a staple of science fiction and occasional real-world experiments.
Also called a jetpack, though technically jetpacks use jet engines rather than rockets.
He dreamed of commuting by rocket-pack.
The technology remains impractical for everyday use despite decades of development.
