Watch the video from post 3. He launches himself out of an airplane at altitude, flies with the wings with jet-assist, and then pops his parachute

Why don't you view the video link instead of making foolish comments.

Hey genius, watch the video in post #3.
He DOES start out at greater than 100mph by jumping out of a plane in flight.

..he would need at least 100+ MPH to take off. Apparently, he stepped from a plane doing just that.

When I jumped back in the 70's I thought of something like this, but I never got around to buying the rockets, building the wings...or even the paint, for that matter.
But I did jump out of a Pilatus, like this guy did. Yeah, I know. Big Deal.
I will give him the "Big Brass Ones" award for this toy.

Why does size matter when it comes to discussions on man flying? Men CANT FLY, period.
What is the difference between this guy strapping wings on his back to me strapping a full airplane to my body? Birds fly, Man eats bird. We win, dammit.
