But it'd close and fairly practical. thought i was cool especially after seeing clips of the jet glider aka C.L.A.W. a while back.

Very cool. It looks like GI Joe may have just been a bit ahead of its time. I would consider this a little closer to the Trouble Bubble than the Jump pack (since it's more of a rigid frame). But it looks like the technology is slowly catching up to Joe visionaries (a la some of the great Star Trek gadgets).
Here's another article about it: FOXNews.com - Long-Lasting Jetpack Unveiled at Air Show - Science News | Science & Technology | Technology News |

Just think in about 20 years these will likely be pretty common place. Interesting how science catches up to fantasy pretty quickly these days isn't it?
