Ugh, I know the feeling. I spend $160 a week in my cab. Personal car is another $50, but thats still not as bad as in the EU. I believe gas is $8 in Germany.
I do know what I am talking about. There are mini-turbines on top of the wings. This was featured in Popular Science or Popular Mechanics, cant remember which.
Comments to one of the coolest things ever
Thats got to be intense
its just falling with thrust, it doesnt have vertical climbing flight yet, still cool
Did you watch the same video I did? i.e. 01:26+
Oh, I forgot, you may want to go literally vertical... And landing capability would be nice as well.
The G's would rip the wings off along with parts of your shoulders.
Who needs shoulders?
Whiddler, you're a fucking idiot. Die.

COBRA invented that thing back in the 80's.
Yeah, I remember the trouble bubbles, and the televipers, with backward writing scrolling over their visor... good times...
rubber band waisted little bastards. good times right there man
fucking intense landscape
Pretty fucking cool. At least until a misplaced condor smashes you in the face at 100 MPH and your neck gets 3 inches shorter.
Misplaced? "OK Who put that fucking bird in the sky?!"
Those motherfuckers don't belong up there!!
Dude, you hit a condor, and your not going to have a neck.
Actually, any type of disaster would make this even cooler.
You think a terrorist will ever use one of these to slam into another building?
hope so, see splattered towel heads all over sky scrapers.
we can only hope its iranian
Somehow I think this eventually will have a Darwin Award associated with it.

ooooo...i know what i'm getting with my gov't stimulus check!
All $600 does is remind people of how screwed they are.
i used my check last week for a full tank of gas....thankyou :(

It's now $10.24 where I live in England. :(
I'm calling fake. If this was actually jet engines, his legs would be completely fried.
He probably adjusted the thrust angles accordingly. Plus, those little turbines dont move a whole lot of air, so the jet wash probably isn't very big.
Problem?
Then again, I may not have a fucking clue what I'm talking about... You be the judge.
...yeah, I'm going with the second option.
I do know what I am talking about. There are mini-turbines on top of the wings. This was featured in Popular Science or Popular Mechanics, cant remember which.
Fake. No way in hell he had enough fuel on/with him to complete it.
That's the other thing I was wondering about, but I don't know anything about the fuel efficiency of modern jet engines.
It was only five minutes of flight. Fuel is stored in the wings.
You know what you are talking about because you read it in a magazine? That's pretty pathetic.
It's not fake, but it's nothing new. Like 30 years old, but their was no practicle use for the technology.
fuck! *there*
Don't forget "practical"
all you people who are crying "fake", check him out & see for yourself. this IS the internet, after all...
and then you can eat your fucking words.
Godzilla is a cynic :P
He didn't have sex with anyone...wtf?
I'd rather have the convience of a reclinable seat and a bathroom.
If you can call those "reclinable"
I don't see anything wrong with the bathroom arrangements that are offered with this. Just pull down your pants and leter' fly, no pun intended.
fucking buzz lightyear wanabe
He is not flying, he is falling with style!
..and breaking his kneecaps on the landing with style!
Iron Man did it better.
he sure did
Third'ed
word.
plus iron man does not have a fucked up name.
I wish I could see that.
I like Carlo Rossi's inventions better.
Some of the top of the line fine wine...
i really wanted to see how he lands - into a lake ??? or just hit the ground running ???
did you watch the video? he uses a parachute you gormless twat.
gormless ??? wtf are you talking about ????
oh now i see the parachute - initially i just skipped to the last frame and didnt see it
now you have learned shame
i still want to know what gormless means ...
ya dude who the fuck needs a plane?
holy SCHNYICKEYS!! that was so badass
fucking Bad ASS
this is cool..aviation was not intended for the human body..so its never going to ..er, get off the ground
