Jetpowered Flying Man

at 8:03 am. Filed under Complex Hacks, Insane Equipment, What Were They Thinking

 

If you skydive already and are looking for a new hobby, jetpowered flight may be just what you are looking for!

"The jet-pack consists of wings with a total three meter span with four model engines built under the wings. Speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour are possible. So far, the device does not allow powered take-offs. So, he jumps out of a plane, stabilizes his flight, and then powers up. Up to four minutes of powered flight at speeds of one hundred knots have been achieved."

    There’s a Finnish guy named Visa Parviainen who does something similar. He uses wingsuit and jet engines attached to his legs.
