* ''VideoGame/HalfLife'': The HEV Suit has a long jump module that's effectively a big rocket attached to Gordon's back for crossing gaps his normal jump had no hope of reaching. Not used very much in the game and abandoned in the sequel. One of the many things FanRemake ''VideoGame/BlackMesa'' gives players is more opportunities to use it.

* ''Film/{{Interstellar}}''. Small rockets are worn as gauntlets on the spacesuits, and are used to move in bounds down a steep icy slope [[spoiler:and then as an ImprovisedWeapon when one astronaut gets into hand-to-hand combat with the other.]]

* ''LightNovel/AccelWorld'':

* Combined with MinovskyPhysics in the 1928 pulp novel ''Armageddon 2419 A.D.'' (which later inspired ''[[ComicStrip/BuckRogers Buck Rogers''). Inertron is a substance with "reverse weight" (anti-gravitational properties), so that a person carrying an amount of inertron equal to most of his weight can travel rapidly across country in long leaps with the aid of a "jumper" (rocket motors encased in inertron blocks and strapped to the back).
