I wonder what would happen if I strapped one of those to my bike... I allready got the wings, now all I need is some Jet engines.

Hey they don't call our bikes crotch rockets for nothing.
Seriously that looks amazing, sign me up.
His website says they are trying to figure a way to achieve takeoff from the ground. He should use a CBR1000rr, wear his wings and go down the runway and then jump off at 160mphish. With the jets already running you think it would work. I dunno. He'd have to be the passenger so he wouldn't loose his legs as he jumped
Think of the 1/4 mile times, you'd have to crank the jets on so they could build thrust and then take off with the bikes motor and then kick into nuetral when the jets finally get full thrust. probably too complicated but it would be very fast.

Sounds like you did a little research on this. lol
Seems very plausible none the less. Sign me up too.

That would be an experience of a lifetime right there.

It does kill two birds with one stone though........skydiving and rocketeering.
