Jet pack run

While it may not be so much fun being chased by someone wearing one, some researchers and designers at Arizona State University have created a wearable jet pack which enhances speed and support when running.

The jet pack project was dubbed the “4 Minute Mile”, as the goal was to get a subject, who wasn’t previously able to achieve the four-minute mile, to run it with the jet pack on.

Initial testing has shown that even while loaded up with the jetpack equipment, the runner was able to complete a 200-metre sprint faster and with decreased metabolic cost than when he ran on his own.
