That is COOL! Now if they could just figure out a better way to launch. They should come out with that attachment for my bike?

I think stall-speed on this is about 120m.p.h, kinda hard to run that fast! Theses turbines ( each, times 4) burn about a gallon of fuel every 10mins.. You wouldn't want to use all your fuel just getting to altitude. They make about 50# of thrust each, not enough to get off the ground if you had to add landing gear! K.I.S.S. engineering at it's best, kinda like Spaceship one. (Message edited by f22raptor on November 30, 2011)

That's been on the news here too, I get Swiss tv as well as French. It was shot at Sion in the Valais, I know the area well, it's stunningly beautiful, one of the main routes through the Alps.

Only thing I'm thinking is, after you've done that, everything else will be just dull.
