Answer 5

As a pilot, my words to grandad would be, "After you gramps!".

There's a helluva lotta testing and verification that would have to be done and documented before I even considered flying the device.

Are you and/or your grandfather pilots? Aeronautical engineers? Airframe and Powerplant mechanics? Engineers of any sort? While it's possible that an accountant could envision, design, build and successfully fly a jet pack, it's pretty unlikely.

Would you rather disappoint your grandfather or get yourself killed?

Answer 6

Ever hear of the Coriolis effect?  It is the earths gravitational core spinning under you and affects more than just the atmosphere moving around the earth.

Review early rocket test. Without a gyroscope action built into the jet pack, you will do the same thing as the early rockets did, you will start to spin like you were on a trapeze swing and crash into the ground breaking every bone in your body.

Also, if the jets are using solid fuel, how are you going to avoid that hot exhaust? Sounds like you are going to be fried without a asbestos fire suit.

Tell gramps to make a hot dog cooker out of it, and stay alive by letting professionals do this type of thing.
