You may need to double the flow. With the water powered jet packs the water isn't just being accelerated from a standstill. The water is first flowing up with close to the same speed and is redirected down. So the momentum exchange is twice what it would be if the water were stored in tanks with the flyer.
Yea, I previously just learned that the psi depletes as soon as it leaves the contraption because there is much less pressure, and it is just speed coming out.
