Abstract
The Electric Jetpack Device has multiple electric ducted or clustered electric jets to create enough/sufficient controlled thrust with battery power alone. It is a lightweight vertical take-off with the electrical power of rechargeable batteries for a safe, vertical lift off vehicle. It is capable of carrying an average human or equivalent payload and flying for several minutes per charge. Motors and propellers are powered by the batteries and managed through an Electronic Speed Controller and a flight controller. The Flight Controller balances thrust and limits roll from side to side. By moving the control handles connected and mounted to an aluminum frame, the device and craft is directed. The pivots tilt the cluster of jetpacks slightly forward or back. The frame is connected to a harness, in which the pilot is strapped. The craft is modular and can be connected to another craft creating a “quadcopter” set-up.
