Being able to run a 4-minute mile is quite the accomplishment, and one that not many can boast about, as runners must maintain an average 15mph speed. Introducing DARPA’s jetpack, which will eventually give soldiers the speed boosts they need to escape from dangerous situations. The 4MM jetpack thrusters feature dual-jet nozzles that face behind the runner to propel them forward.
The 4MM project is still early on in the testing phase, but initial results look promising. One of the study’s test subjects ran an unassisted mile in 5 minutes and 20 seconds, and then again clocking 5 minutes and 2 seconds (a 5.625 percent decrease) with the 4MM. While Kerestes hasn’t quite gotten the average person down to a 4-minute mile, he can demonstrate marked improvements that future iterations of the technology can build upon.
