  Rocket Ritchotte
Rocket's hard-hitting, tasty guitar playing gave him the reputation of one of the best guitarists in LA. It came as no surprise that when David Lee Roth needed someone for his band, Rocket was the man to get.
When Rocket played the demo for his friend Doug Parry, Doug was so knocked out by the music that he offered to produce the CD at Andora, one of the most sought after studios in Hollywood.
Rocket's keen ability and varied styles glisten in the country roots of his steel guitar, the stinging licks of his rock and roll, the sultry lure of his blues, and his heartfelt acoustic ballads.

Rockets may be seen to expel a fog of cold air at the end of their thrust phase (this is best observed with a slow-moving, restricted nozzle rocket).
One problem with a water rocket is that the water (usually the major component of mass) lies towards the rear of the rocket, so the empty front of the rocket tends to be dragged around to the side (like throwing a dart backwards) as the rocket moves through the air.
To test a water rocket's stability (when empty), a swing-test may be performed, a string is attached to a point on the circumference closest to the CG (CG is in fact located in thin air inside the bottle), and the rocket swung around in circles (larger circles are better).

 Jet pack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rocket belt, rocket pack, jet pack, and similar names, are various types of device, usually worn on the back, that use jets of escaping gases to allow the user to fly.
A main fault in the rocket pack is short duration of flight (to 30 seconds) and the high expense of scarce fuel (hydrogen peroxide).
Rocket packs can be useful in outer space, where much less thrust is needed, because the weightlessness of space removes the need to continually fight against gravity.

 Howstuffworks "How Personal Jetpacks Work"
Two metal tanks mounted on the rocket pack are filled with a total of about 6 gallons (23 liters) of hydrogen-peroxide propellant.
Rocket packs are unlikely to become commercially marketed products due to their drawbacks.
Also, a rocket pack uses up its 6 gallons of fuel in just 30 seconds of flight, whereas the XFV can travel for more than three hours on 10 gallons of gasoline.

The mounting for the rocket packs includes an extendable boom which is used to lift the rocket pack into position for loading.
Rockets can be launched at a rate of 10 per second to a maximun range of 6,550m.
The rockets are obviously different from the standard models in other respects since minimum and maximum range is reduced to 300m and 5000m, which is more useful for their intended role.

One such serial was called King of the Rocket Men in which Jeff King battles the evil Dr. Vulcan with his rocket propelled flying suit.
George Reeves would spring into the sky in a similar manner in the '53 Superman television series.) The Rocket Men serial would inspire artist Dave Stevens to create a comic book entitled The Rocketeer, which is brought to the screen, tongue firmly planted in cheek, by Lucasfilm alumnus and director Joe Johnston.
The Rocketeer is a skillful blend of humor, speculative history, and action/adventure fluff.

 Jet pack infantry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
On Galatia the Rocketeers moved rooftop to rooftop through a town while ANR infantry and tanks moved through on the ground, thus dealing with the risk of rooftop ambushes and acting as high eyes for the advancing troops.
Overall the problem wasn't a problem on galatia because for the most part, the Rocketeers, along with the other republic forces, were always in touch with their supply lines for food, ammo, and other needs, so as long as supply was available, so was the ability to recharge the jet packs.
Unless of course the NR decided to use rocket packs instead of jet packs, in which case he'd be SOL and have to be retrained.

 Wing-Blast rocket pack - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The pack was designed several hundred years BBY by General Gustav Zenlav, founder of the MandalMotors corporation, and originally incorporated an experimental photonic beam where the proton torpedo cannon would eventually be mounted; this proved to be the design flaw that caused Zenlav to shelve the design.
Hundreds of years later, the blueprints for the pack fell into the possession of Boba Fett.
Recognizing the promise of the design, Fett replaced the photonic beam with the proton torpedo system, and used the Wing-Blast rocket pack to storm Fortress Baarlos, defeat the fortress's Tulvarees guardians, and collect the bounty on Faarl the Conqueror.

The TAM Rocket Belt is a complete rocket pack system which is custom fitted to the exact specifications of the pilot.
It even includes the equipment necessary to make your own rocket fuel (using highly pressurized peroxide, so it’s not combustible.) They even throw in 10 training flights to make sure you don’t kill yourself before you take it home.
The only downside is that it only holds enough fuel to propel you into the air for about 10 to 15 seconds, so you won’t be going very far.
