Bell Aero Systems Pogo
The Bell ‘Pogo’ rocket belt two man platform.
Bell Aero Systems Rocket Belt
Bell Aerosystems Rocket Belts. These strap on devices had a pair of vectorable nozzles controlled by handlebars and enabled the wearer to be thrust over 15 m (50 ft). The only practical application of the Rocket Belt has been as a gimmick in a James Bond movie. Developed versions of the device have been used by NASA astronauts for spacewalking.
Neat and potentially useful, the rocket belt has proved difficult to control with the finesse necessary for everyday use by non experts.
