Well, since your topic title threw in the word "realistic" let's take a look at "realistic":

Martin Jetpack (not a concept, a reality)
Fuel capacity 5.0 US gallons
Fuel consumption 10.0 US gallons/hour

Would it really be of any use in FS(??) if you have to land before 30 mins are up and refuel?  :hrmm:

there isn't, to my knowledge, like this out but if this is the type of stuff that interests you then perhaps you would enjoy the Lunar Pilot addon for flight sim.

EDIT:

I lied, it appears there is a freeware addon for you (jetpack) ... have a look at this and tell me how it is, i havn't tried it myself.

Thank you, I'll re-install FS9 and try it out later, I was wanting one for FSX but left it out of the title.
I wish a payware developer would make a very detailed one.
