More specifically, the thrust unit comprises at least one thrust sub-unit, each advantageously comprising at least two thrusters and secondary course-correction and/attitude-correction thrusters.
Claims22
Device for propelling a passenger, said device comprising a body including a platform arranged to accommodate said passenger and a thrust unit, wherein:
- said thrust unit comprises at least one thrust sub-unit each comprising at least one thruster;
- the direction of gaseous flow ejection from each thruster can be oriented along an axis that is substantially normal to a longitudinal plane (PL) of the platform;
- said body of the device comprises support means of the thrust unit cooperating with the platform and being arranged to support said thrust unit and minimize the distance between an axis projected in the median plane passing through the center of gravity of the body of the device and said direction of gaseous flow ejection of each thruster
