Rocket Belt Enables Man To Leap Rivers
A practical rocket belt by Bell Aerosystems allows a man to lift off strapped to his back and fly over rivers and hills. In 90 test flights this spring Graham reached about 20 miles per hour with a longest horizontal flight of 360 feet. The device uses hydrogen peroxide to produce steam for twin-nozzle thrust and is a feasibility model for lifting a person and moving over ground.
