but with a wing loading like this ... maybe you could land it



Yeah, all we need now is a snow covered slope, a carbon fiber skid plate and we're set :D:P

Exactly!!!
THAT is nothing but a rodeo on the theoretical suit I just described, with no pilot inside of it!
Now refine it greatly...make the sucker airlocked, and not quite so grotesquely cartoonishly oversized, streamline the shit out of it, make it wearable and easily deformed by pilot input and THAT is exactly the vision I had in mind. Entirely landable given sufficient evolution and skill.
Landing without canopies isn't impossible....its inevitable.
I'll bet anyone here a year's income I'm 100% correct within 20 years and probably less than 10. 5 or less if we put our minds to it. It is but a matter of time.
Anyone?
