Pretty cool.
Noted that unlike the old "jet packs" seen since the early 60s,
these guys had both the main jet pack AND hand-thruster pods,
kinda out of "Iron Man", to improve flight precision.
Also, the original jet packs used super-strong hydrogen
peroxide sprayed on a catalytic screen to generate steam
for thrust. THESE units were more compact and seemed to
use actual jet engines. Modern tech can create quite
small jet engines. Try :
