If its not so hard where is there a working example. The concept seems ideal for military, adventurer parachuting, space craft recovery, dragster (Car and boat) type applications - indeed anywhere there is a parachute that is used. So we are now looking at a Jet pack carrying a pilot, a parachute and a inflating donut that has to be, what, 25 metres round? Sounds like you are packing a fair bit of gear onto the jetpack. Backers of the IPO are, I reckon, backing more garage tinkering - this time on parachutes!
