WOW. I'll bet he's an interesting guy. Great ad for Breitling. They've always hung with the Aero theme and that really showcases them. |

That was awsome !!! On the other hand , would have liked to see him take off and land without aid . Very cool ! |

He can't take off or land. The jets don't have enough thrust for a VTOL bird, and the landing would be like stepping off your bike at 120+, with the expected grinding off stuff you want to keep. It's a cool stunt though. He flies it well. Many, ( nearly all ) of the skydivers that build "bat suits" with wings kill themselves. The forces get too high to handle, usually, and the aerodynamics are tricky. His rig is rigid, relies on a chute to land, and a plane to take off. I wonder how big a trebuchet you'd need to get to flying speed? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67fFDiPRsrk&feature =related |
