| If you want to be a jet plane? This Jet-Engine-Powered Wing is really cool! The Swiss pilot Yves Rossy propel himself through the sky with a rigid wing boosted up with jet engines. The foldable carbon graphite wing has 4 jet engines, includes fuel, backup batteries, and of course some oil in the kerosene for lubricating the engine, so it's a full blown DIY machine up there. First you climb up around 8000 ft and jump(jump out of the plane), it can provide enough thrust to propel the pilot horizontally for 4-6 minutes at 115 mph, landings are accomplished via parachute. If you want to see this thing in action, jump to more. |
