Hehehe, very cool.
I've seen those kind of jump suits before but never with the guy being powered.
It has got to be said, what a nutter though!! I'd never have that much kerosene strapped that close to my crown jewels :badair: :wink:

HAHAHAHAHA Good point! I guess when you are jumping from a ballon with 2 turbines strapped to your body, the kero is the least of your worries. nutter and then some!!
The video showed him getting pretty low, was he able to climb in that setup? I wonder, he looked to low to pop the chute for a while there in the video.

Let get Greg to do it! I am sure Wren would sponsor him. :mrgreen:
I have a file called "Something completely different" which contains details of a number of customer projects, none of which are planes or helis. We have:
Two turboprop-powered locomotives
A turboprop-powered motorbike (Road-legal)
A turbine-powered model of Donald Campbell's Bluebird (belonging to his daughter Gina)
Two turboprop-powered miniature tractors.
However, we have no jet-powered humans ..... yet

If we were meant to fly, we wouldn't have RC helicopters and transmitters to stand on the ground and watch them. :lol: :lol:
