I’ve always said that as soon as they start selling the Jetman jet powered gliders I’ll be first in to buy one. This video of one without the jet engines attached is intriguing. They claim that it’s twice as efficient as the latest birdman suits and that’s tempting but I’m sure that it’s a LOT more expensive and quite a hassle finding an aircraft with the room to take you to altitude. And once you deploy the parachute it would be a huge amount of drag which would make the canopy ride boring and slow. With my birdman suit I can get into any skydiving plane, make a jump, land back in front of the building and walk back inside easily. I guess I’ll have to wait and see how much they go for.
