The jetpack flights are now quite common, but do you know that those equipment has planned also the civil- and military use. In the civil duties, that equipment can get the rescue operators in the forests, and if those flying machines would be remote controlled, they can get the personnel out of the burning houses, and help the situation in the accident area, by bringing the medicines and the medical staff in the areas, what are too risky for the helicopters. Or this is what some futurologists see the use of this equipment.
Major problems with motorized hand gliders are that those equipment are suitable for terror-attack. The motorized hand gliders can use as to make the air-strike against any target, and those operators can be extremely dangerous because they can equip with the hand grenades, grenade launchers, and assault rifles, and even the heavily protected targets can be treated by those things. The special forces are also very interested to use jetpacks in their operations.
One of the realistic use for the jetpacks is to use them with the DARPA:s new human-like "Atlas"-robot, what could be sent to the combat zone with the jetpacks. The robots might deliver from C-130 Hercules or any other cargo plane to the operational area, and those combat robots, what have used this thing, might have the limited air-combat capacity. In some most imaginal visions, those robots can shoot to the operational area by ballistic missile, what returning capsule is that robot.
The vision is like straight from some "Terminator"-movie, where the combat robot will be sent for the assassination mission by the intercontinental ballistic missile. Those jet gliders can be used to drop the operators far away from the target, and they can fly to the target area. The jetpacks are actually quite difficult to see because they are very small sized. And the modern electronics allow making the autopilot-controlled jetpack, what leaves the operator in the right place, and then this thing will fly away.
Also, these little aircraft are probably planned to use as the carriers of small guided bombs. In this scenario, the jetpack is equipped with the GBU:s or "Stinger" missiles, and the remote-controlled glider can also use the miniaturized combat aircraft. Those things can also support the special forces combatants in their missions by delivering the combat equipment to those combatants, who operate far away from enemy lines.
