Visa Parviainen flying the Birdman wingsuit with jet boots.
Not sure how appropriate this is, but that really set my imagination racing. I figured that was 2005, so what if there's more power & lift available now?
The AMT Titan, the most powerful model jet my search revealed, has a claimed 40 Kg (392N / 88Lbf) of thrust, http://www.amtjets.com/Titan.php
This years model birdman wingsuit, the Blade ii claims a glide ratio of 3.3:1 http://www.bird-man.com/wingsuit/blade-ii/
Well, to me that looks like it could climb?
A belly pack with 5 litres of fuel would provide something like 2 minutes of flight time, comparable to jet packs etc, the only disadvantage being the need for air-launch.... RATO anyone?
