Jet Pack 2FGM

Have you ever wanted a rocket pack to soar amongst the sky? Now you can … on Mars… Gravity is less, atmospheric density is less, and the vistas are breathtaking. So come to Mars...

Buck Rogers aside, Mars is an interesting environment for out-of-this-world mobility options for an explorer. This challenge asks for the definition of a conceptual mobility solution to allow an astronaut to easily and rapidly explore Mars including overcoming obstacles such as cliffs, ravines and other difficult terrain. The solution should be person-portable and any means or source of propulsion be locally produced.

This challenge can be answered by:

• producing an app to simulate your adventures in building your jet pack and flying around Mars;
• produce an app that provides the local gravity, atmospheric conditions (density, weather, anything-else-of-interest) to help decide what is needed for your jet pack design;
• perform a feasibility/conceptual study of an actual jet pack design that could use potential Mars fuel sources; or Design and Demonstrate a model scale jet pack using hardware.

Mars is one of the most explored planets in our solar system because of the many satelites that circle the planet and for the famous Mars Rover. Nevertheless it still remains a mistery for the human being. We now present a different way to explore the red planet. With the JEt PAck 2FGM, human exploreres will be able to soar the skies during a great period of time with great safety. It works with a take-off and landing impulse by compressed carbon dioxide and an on-air propeller turbine sourced by self-chargable batteries. It´s wings serve it to create an air cushion to mantain it on flight.
