Sustained flight with Fallout 4 Power Armor Jetpack?
Fallout 4's Power Armor Jetpack is pretty nifty, but is limited to a short flight time and distance. Is there a good way to improve this?
I tried hotkeying some Nuka Cola Quantum and Mirelurk Egg Omelets and it seemed like I was able to get more hover time, but there seems to be a ceiling on how high you can fly in one jump. I also tried the Piezonucleic chest, the Kinetic Servos leg mods, and 2 points in the Action Boy perk, but those only affect recharge rate after you stop flying for a moment. The Agility stat says it increases action points in VATS, but does that also translate to action points used for flying (and sprinting)?
What are other ways I can improve the flight time and/or distance? Is sustained flight possible?
Given these constraints:
- no cheat codes or console commands
- no file mods or UGC
- I don't care if it uses up fusion cores. (The game seems to throw em at me faster than I can use 'em anyway)

First - every point spent on agi improves your AP and so the lenght of flight. For my charisma-int build this is a good point to start, already have spent three points and got about three additional meters flight-height for every point spent.
Second - legs of armor. They can be modified in different ways to inflict the amount of AP spent, I'm currently trying out options.
The idea is that maybe endurance inflicts the duration too, but I don't know yet.

How do you make the jetpack last longer in Fallout 4?
Make a running jump, and use Jet as you are running or jumping. Focus on distance, not height. The trick is to manage thrust carefully, tapping jump key only as needed, NOT holding it down. This is sorta possible without jet, but much easier while time is slowed.Is the jetpack useful in Fallout 4?
It lets you bypass obstructions and easily jump from building to building. It can get you to spots that enemies can't reach, so it can make dealing with melee enemies really easy (not like it isn't already).What power armor has a jetpack Fallout 4?

Even with mods that remove the AP usage of jetpacks, they don't fly forever. They mostly go straight up, and only go forward at about the speed which you jog, and after about 10-15 seconds they will slowly begin to descend anyways. You can't fly longer than about 20 seconds period. Kinda lame.

For longer distance jumps, simply hold your weapon in your hand. If you have your weapon stowed away, the sprint jump start that you do turns into regular running speed when you start using the jetpack. But for some reason when you have a weapon out (I use my combat knife because it takes up less screen space, allowing me to see where I'm landing), you can continue to maintain the sprinting speed.
Just remember to 'hop' with the jetpack if you're going for long distance - don't hold down the jump button but instead tap it as if you were skipping a stone. Even if you want to go straight upwards the most efficient way is to tap it (although you need to tap much faster than if you were jumping horizontally).
