Ironmanjay 0 #1 January 24, 2007 Has anybody heard of this or done it. This looks like its 10 times better then just falling out of the sky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dST-a5IU_h4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vectracide 0 #2 January 24, 2007 Yeah, that has got to be quite an experience. The last vid I saw of this guy flying his wing, it only had 2 turbines on it, and was only able to maintain level flight. Now there are 4 turbines on the wing and he is able to climb at a 45 degree angle, loop and roll. Friggin amazing. Given the chance, hell ya. In a New York Minute. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

therealbonger 0 #6 January 24, 2007 i saw something where the us military had created something similar. Not sure if it had turbines, but it was a fixed wing for special forces jumpers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
