What if you built a wing, attached small kerosene-fueled jet engines to it, and jumped out of a plane?

If you were really good, and really lucky, you might look like this fella:

Check out the video, too. It shows how he lands. :)


Also have a look at the very impressive picture #1 in that collection!

Watched the video the other day and was impressed. Would be cool to see if any companies try to pick up the concept and further develop it.

Pic #1 is beautiful. Wow. Not sure what else to say beyond that.

Pic #8 is a heart stopper as in if that one F1 car was much lower it would have killed the other driver at those speeds.
