Post FusionMan Flies a Jet Wing
heh...cryptic enough of a subject?

Anyway, Yves "FusionMan" Rossi designed this wing he straps on his back with jets on it. He recently demoed it to the press. Basically he jumped out of a plan (like sky diving), unfolded the wings and zipped around the valley for a little while. He then deployed the parachute and landed safely.

Pretty freakin' cool, in my opinion. Pictures and video at his site.
