Harrison Martin, 16-year-old son of inventor Glenn Martin, pilots a jet pack at an air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It is powered by a water-cooled, piston engine, similar to a car's, which drives the large downward-facing fans on either side of the pilot. Flaps at the bottom of the fans are used to direct air and steer the pack. For the safety of onlookers, two men kept the pack a few feet above the ground (Courtesy of Rachel Courtland)

It's not a jetpack, it's a pair of ducted fans on a main framework that he's strapped to.
