I think you might be talking about "Jetman"

Same guy - apparently he goes by Rocket Man now. Very impressive, what he has done.

That first one is old news. Just a big ducted fan. I'll wait for the Iron Man repulsors or the Rocketeer pack. I think the Alcohol fueled turbofan would work, if you did it right. You'd almost need to have reaction thrusters at the hands for reliable control. Just like a Harrier.
