What about the jetpack in the movie Rocketeer is there a prototype? It keeps returning in games like bf1942.

I believe sometimes movies or based on real stories which happen't. And sometimes scientists get inspiration from movies. But I know you are right it
is really being tested by the US department of defence.

I just remembered:
The US Solotrek i so loud, lets hope for the Chinese sake that their " Powered Parachute (PPC)" is "little" more silent.. 
*note*
You can see and hear the solotrek (in action) at this topic, fom a video link that i earlier posted.

I've seen a number of rocket-pack variants, including one that looks like a flying zimmerframe...
The problems are: noise, cost, endurance and safety! These things are extremely unsafe!! Remeber what happened to the statue they used to test fly the
rocket pack in The Rocketeer?
BTW, I loved that film!

yeah it is worth watching. it is about that rocketpack and both the governement and the Nazi try to get it. There are some nice parts of the movie
were you can see what the nazi germany wants with it. Invade US.
