Same. I studied aerospace engineering and know that small-scale jetpack flight is possible to do, and yet I cannot help but scan for weird lighting changes or lens incongruities whenever I see a video. It's so insane to see these things.

Bypass ratio and entrainment. Most of the air coming through is cool, so the overall air is merely hot, rather than “melts your legs”.

Would love if someone could answer this or knows of a video that explains jetpacks well
