A backpack helicopter is a motor, rotor, and controls assembly for a helicopter that can be attached to a person's back. This allows the person to walk about on the ground while wearing the backpack helicopter, and then use the backpack helicopter to fly. A harness similar to one used for a parachute is used, and there should also be a strap running between the legs. In certain designs, the amount of upward force may be increased by using a ducted fan design. There have been a number of attempts made to create backpack helicopters, with varying degrees of success.
