Screen cap from the ASU promotional video.

Arizona State University is developing a Jet Pack that doesn't fly but allows users to run more quickly as part of its 4MM (4 minute mile) project. The idea is that U.S. service members could use the technology "a warfare-type arena," according to Jason Kerestes, a researcher on the project. Details and a video of the jet pack in action can be found in this Washington Post story.
