See the part about @reboot

You may start a shell script that starts the launch file; I know that works well. Here's a sample:

#!/bin/bash
source ~/.bashrc
source catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
roslaunch jet_bringup jet_real.launch
exit

Just remember to make your shell script text file executable with the chmod 755 command.
