i would have preferred if he launched off the ground and caught up with the plane, but this is still cool. this is like some new paratrooper level stuff....

This.

I mean whats the point if you have to be in a plane already just to deploy :manny:

He should ditched the fixed wing and go full Iron Man suit with it.

Yall right but damn you gotta crawl first before you walk

yeah, i feel you. it's just that i had my hopes up when i clicked on the link. i was thinking it was going to be some rocketeer type of stuff :gladbron:

that's why i mentioned how i would have preferred if he took off from the runway rather than being deployed...

edit: plus, you gotta understand, i want a jet pack so bad. after watching this video i started looking at videos on youtube with people and jet packs :sadbron:

I agree and i give him props for something different. I've been following this guy and his device for awhile tho and i just think it's nothing to get worked up over as the next big thing in transportation, personal or otherwise. It reminds me of the Segway craze/hype years ago when it hit the scene.

My real problem is that the design to me is sooo close. I mean you could use the same or smaller types of model airplane engines, stick them on a suit with stabilizers on it and the hardest thing would only be figuring out how to contain the fuel. To make a suit that would weight the same amount or even less than that big ass wing isn't unfathomable in my mind.

That dude is my hero. Hopefully 15-20s years from now these will be rent-able for a 1/2 hour to hour flights. Gotta work on that fuel efficiency. Probably use nuclear power? :ehh:

they would never make these available to the public can you imagine the type of shyt people would do if they had these. As for flying cars never happen either people cant even drive on land without crashing, just imagine a drunk driver in a flying car come crashing down into your house at 3 in the morning.

I'd imagine you'd need quite some training to be able to fly those too...

It's like those BASE jumping suits, they don't just give that shyt to anyone and tell em to go jump off a cliff
