Juggernaut started this over on the HGT and instead of commenting there, decided it needed it's own thread.

Juggernaut Said:
Quote 
Yves Rossy from Switzerland developed wings which allow him to fly - spectacularly! (mainly because of 4 attached model-engines) With these, he can fly at over 200km/hr and conquer mountain summits. "During the flight, Yves's body becomes the likes of a bird and, other than a gas handle, Yves does not ride his wings but truly flies them, using various light body movements that he has learned to handle with perfection. These body movements are equal to those that birds use to fly..."

Why even bother with the helmet? Seriously??

Looks like a good start but it can't launch or land on it's own and from the video it didn't even look like it had enough thrust to climb but merely maintain an altitude for what I'd imagine is a very short time.

Cool none the less.

GRYPHON

"Gryphon" is not exactly personal flight vehicle, but rather an empowered parachute. It's been designed by ESG (Elektroniksystem-und-Logistik-GmbH). The Gryphon enables parachutists to fly through the air at a high speed before opening their chutes, so they could be dropped miles away and fly to their intended targets.

He would be that red chunky puddle splattered around that contraption. He had some insane guts or some serious stupidity.

Those of us who've been dreaming of cheap personal air travel in the Buck Rogers, sci-fi jet-pack mode should turn their eyes towards Vinci, Italy on May 25. That's when Gennai Yanagisawa, inventor of the tiny GEN H-4 personal helicopter, will be taking his lightweight 165-pound whirly-gig on a demonstration flight.
