Chinese professor soars with jetpack at Zhejiang
A recent video posted on the X platform shows a Chinese engineer named Jiao Bujing flying using a jetpack during an event at Zhejiang University. The stunt is considered similar to science fiction. The device, developed by the JetRob team at Huzhou Institute, relies on five jet engines and allows for flying durations between 3 to 5 minutes at low altitude, reaching speeds of up to approximately 100 kilometers per hour. It weighs 31 kilograms when empty and reaches a total weight of 46 kilograms with fuel. The current intended use is for rescue and emergency operations in difficult-to-reach areas, with plans to develop an automated control system. It is in limited production after years of development and testing.
