On the flip side these guys have figured it out partially https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czy0pXRRZcs

Do I think the "iron man" suit can do more than hover? Not really. It is pretty cool nonetheless.

Those are very, very cool, and I'm sure they are a huge technical achievement, but they don't really deserve to be compared with "jet pack" style craft. They have no takeoff or landing abilities at all.

There was also a Jetpack featured on White Rabbit Project (can't remember the episode). It seemed pretty legit.
