I think the most practical application for this would probably be rapid deployment to the tops of buildings etc. Rig the entire suit for rapid ejection and then you can have a dozen soldiers get to the top of a building in seconds, eject and start breaching... That would probably be worth the cost, because you can go resecure the packs once you've taken the objective. You could even use them for rapid evacuation scenarios too.

If they combined this with a lightweight exoskeleton like the ones ford’s factory workers use to supplement shoulder load this thing could be flown by anyone. Amazing to think this technology is firmly here in 2019.

The Zapata overboard has a huge advantage over this thing: it leaves your hands free (which allows you to handle tools, weapons, etc.).

As cool as this is, the Zapata jet pack will likely be the one that takes off, mainly because it serves a purpose for the military, you can fly it while holding a rifle, kinda important when flying in a combat situation.

[@casualgamer3689]

Two years later i'm telling you can't hold or aim the rifle. You will throw the suit off balance or go in a dangerous direction. 😊
