There is a game that puts this into concept called Jetpack Joyride (made by creators of Fruit Ninja): https://appsto.re/us/TybrB.i.

My physics class actually did a lab report to find the relationship between the # of bullets and distance propelled in the air with the game. While it was nowhere near as accurate as this simulation, it was definitely interesting to see the results.



An automatic-fire weapon in Cave Story also allows you to fly by firing it downward (though there is a separate jet pack item available as well).
