"Break out the Rocket Belts, Boys!"
Dr. Benton Quest, in The Invisible Monster
That's probably my favorite quote from the Jonny Quest show. What adventure-seeking kid hasn't wanted to take to the skies with pounds of highly flammable fuel strapped to their backs?
The Traveller Book's vehicle chapter gives us the Grav Belt at TL12:
Grav Belt (12) Cr100,000, negligible weight if on; 10 kg if turned off. Personal anti-gravity transportation using a single null-gravity module and a personal harness. Performance is similar in speed and range to the air/raft.
But what other devices have appeared in fact or fiction to give somebody a lift? Turns out there have been quite a few.
TL-1 the Wings of Icarus Cost: 20 Cr Speed: 15kph Range 5km
