This is the iRonCub3: a jet powered humanoid robot based on the iCub 3. This robot has been modified with its tendons removed and sensors integrated in the jetpacks. As the below video shows, this robot is currently being tested. Artificial and Mechanical Intelligence and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia researchers are behind this.

As you can tell, making something like this can be challenging as turbine emission gas is at about 800 degrees Celsius. Planners are required to generate motor dynamics but turbine trajectories.
