A comment on Airline pilots landing at LAX report “a guy in jetpack” flying alongside them. Parent comment
Yves Rossy's wing: Optimized for forward flight, has VTOL capability, bulky.
Zapata's flyboard: Good middle ground, VTOL with decent speed, restricts ground movement.
Gravity jetsuit: Optimized for hovering, lightweight, can walk in it.
They're all doing much the same thing though, strap some jets onto a human and allow them to fly with VTOL.
