Abstract
A personal propulsion device, including a platform configured to support a passenger's body; and at least one fluid discharge nozzle coupled to the platform and angled with respect to the platform, where the angle defined between the nozzle and the platform is between approximately 95° and 120°; where the personal propulsion device is configured to receive pressurized fluid from a remote pressurized fluid source, and where the personal propulsion device is configured to achieve flight.
Claims19
A personal propulsion device, comprising:
- a passenger assembly adapted to support a passenger's body, the passenger assembly including at least two segments that are independently pivotable with respect to each other, wherein each segment is configured to support a leg of the passenger's body;
- and
- at least one nozzle movably coupled to the passenger assembly, wherein the at least one nozzle defines an angle with respect to at least one of the two segments in two different planes and is configured to discharge fluid away from the passenger assembly to elevate the passenger assembly;
- wherein the personal propulsion device is configured to receive pressurized fluid from a remote pressurized fluid source to achieve flight.
