Now *THIS* is flying

Strap on flying wing video

Forget the old standard rocket pack, I'd love to learn to fly one of these things. It would have to be about as close as you could get of really truly flying under your own power.

::drools:: That's.... bond-esque.

One has to wonder just how much the jet pack weighs, though. Can't be practical for long trips, and you obviously can't take off on your own.

The turbines are likely modified APUs, or turbines used for UAVs or some such.

So it's like a hang glider sort of idea with jet engines? Whoaaahh.

Lucky random French dude.
