Jet pack

Jet pack, rocket belt, rocket pack and similar names are used for various types of devices, usually worn on the back, that are propelled by jets of escaping gases (or in some cases water) to let a single user propel him or herself into the air or fly.

The concept emerged from science fiction in the 1960s and became popular as the technology became a reality. The most common use of the jet pack has been in extra-vehicular activities for astronauts. Despite decades of advancement in the technology, many obstacles remain in the way of use of the jetpack in the military or as a means of personal transport, including the challenges of Earth's atmosphere, Earth's gravity, low energy density of available fuels, and the human body not being naturally adapted to fly. To compensate for the limitations of the human body, the jet pack must accommodate for all factors of flight such as lift and stabilization.

Liquid-fuelled rocket pack

Andreyev: oxygen-and-methane, with wings

The first jet pack was developed in 1919 by the Russian inventor Aleksandr Fyodorovich Andreyev. The project was well regarded by Nikolai Rynin and technology historians Yu. V. Biryukov and S. V. Golotyuk. Later it was issued a patent but apparently was not built or tested. It was oxygen-and-methane-powered (likeliest a rocket) with wings each roughly 1 m (3 feet) long.

Jetpack (Firefox project)

Jetpack is a project that develops tools and frameworks to ease development of Firefox add-ons. The project has produced the Add-on SDK, a set of APIs, a runtime, and a command-line tool for creating and running add-ons, and the Add-on Builder, a Web-based integrated development environment which uses the SDK.

Add-ons developed with the SDK are written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript using CommonJS conventions. They do not require the user to restart Firefox when they are installed and uninstalled. The SDK's APIs are high-level, task-oriented, and designed to insulate developers from changes across Firefox versions.

The project previously produced a tool called the Jetpack Prototype, which is now retired. APIs provided by the Jetpack Prototype are not compatible with the Add-on SDK.
