Apple macrumors 6502 Feb 4, 2008 #4 That shows how far aviation has come. The rush that guy must have felt combined with the speed and control would have been amazing. It will be interesting to see how this project progresses.

IJ Reilly macrumors P6 Feb 5, 2008 #9 Wild stuff, but probably a one-off stunt. People have been playing around with strapping jet packs onto people for a long time.
