Just glide eh?

So now look at the following article from yesterday’s Daily mail: This guy flies something similar, but has 4 engines attached, each of which prduces 22Kg of thrust. This beast can gain height under its own power.

Flying like a bird at 5,000ft, the winged wonder

Yea it was definitely flying. Thats pretty sweet.

It is actually the same guy, but a few years of development later. Now has folding wings. See a recent video here:

Jet-man: Human powered flight

Its small size gives it a fighter like look as it flies. Very impressive.

Somewhat erroneously described as “human powered”.

Oh I must have just watched the wing testing vid were he was gliding

-Would be cool if it could take off from the ground on its own

I think thats the same guy… the airplane in the back looks the same as in all the pictures on the site and the rig and the guy look pretty much the same as on the site…
