Here comes Batman. Pretty cool stuff actually.

I could imagine battalion size flocks of these guys swarming an area fast.

You gotta have something more than "the right stuff" to do that..... holy cow!

I might fit in a good chortle before he kicked my a$$.

Thanks for posting this article, the one I saw earlier didn't have any pics to go with. Cool stuff!

Sounds like a Turkey shoot, or Quail hunt...I would not want to be flying around in a set of wings with someone close with a 12gauge loaded with buckshot. I say move on to another idea.

"strap on" chuckle...cool wings though.

[NRA1995]

"Strap-on" is a rather poor choice of words, isn't it?

LOL! What the Messerschmidt failed to do.....

Oops, sorry. I forgot....DON'T MENTION THE WAR!

Resembling a 6ft-wide pair of aircraft wings, the devices should allow a parachutist to glide up to 120miles, carrying 200lb of equipment, the manufacturers claim.

Wow. It is cool.

[Waverunner]

it's what every SF major aspires to, those little wings

Cool idea, but I'm missing something in the article's math...
'moving 6 feet forward for every one foot he fell vertically' 'glide 120 miles or more' '30,000 ft'.
30K ft is about 6 miles. *6ft/1ft)*6mi = 36 miles. Much less than 120 miles mentioned in the article. Either they will be dropped from higher altitudes, take advantage of high winds, or something else?

I NEED THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good thing me on Santa's "A" list, well...after the last case of Glenlivet, anyway.

[RexBeach]

Uh-huh. You go first! I'll be waiting for you with an advanced life support unit on the ground!

[Zavien Doombringer]

Brings to mind, these guys...Think Flash Gordon

[McGruff]

What's next? Wing mounted hellfire missiles?

Here is a video of jet boots in action that would work well with that flight suit. This fellow sustains 30 seconds of level flight at 2000 meters, jumping from a hot air balloon. It is taken late last year in Finland. He doesn't have nearly as aerodynamic an outfit to do it. Jet boots plus those wings should be quite a combination.

A little wing goes a long way. Check this out: http://www.break.com/index/basejumpfly.html
