Jet Pack Aims to Meet the Four Minute Mile

Sep-21-14 Developed by an engineering student, the FMM jetpack gives runners the extra boost of speed needed to run a four-minute mile.

Weighing only 11 pounds, the Four Minute Mile jetpack is equipped with rear-facing nozzles and lithium battery-powered fans. The fans provide a boost of thrust that allows the wearer to run faster with less effort, even when the weight of the pack is taken into account. In tests, the ideal amount of thrust was determined to be about 15 percent of the wearer's body weight.
