I always wanted to try this, I saw it in Florida several times...as well as someone attaching a hang glider to an inflatable raft with a fan...I'd rather have just the backpack tho, not so much a seat.

Plenty fast when you don't have to follow the road or deal with traffic.
Want to go faster? Go nose down

I'm still waiting for the Suzuki version- word is it will come with blue and white color-matched sunglasses, tank top, shorts, and flip-flops.

The line that says it all in the HD Plane video ..."That sounds bad ass!".
Yes. That is the first design point of aircraft. The exhaust sound. Awesome.

I saw a guy on Stan Lee's Superhumans last week that had something that looked like a jet pack.
He jumped out of a plane, flew around, and got back in.

Unfortunately I think these being available for the public in America anytime in the next 5-10 years is unlikely. I also think they would need raise their prices if it were sold for public consumption. Technically it is entirely feasible, but unfortunately I believe regulation and liability will ultimately prove to be the biggest barriers.
As for Harley Davidson engines in aircraft, most piston powered light aircraft use big, heavy, slow revving, aircooled engines that don't produce a lot of power. It shouldn't come as any surprise that HD engines have fit right in to the light aircraft market for a while. |
