Where is the “Wait! I didn’t know that was there!” button?

Always wanted something I could fly in a thunder storm. My aluminum kite was kind of boring.

How much thrust can those little tiny fans put out.
It’s a gimmick. A good one, though.

The tech is making it possible. Ducted electric fans used on RC planes made to out perform (to scale) the real thing. It prolly wouldnt get you off the ground but it will boost you from 80 to 180 mph for about 5 minutes. You are gonna be smeared into a cliff face by then I am sure.

Puts out a lot of smoke for an electric motor. Short circuit perhaps? Lucky he survived it.

Yeah, what's wrong with plain old gas turbines? All this insane infatuation with electric, electric, electric for every application under the sun is just nuts. It makes sense for some applications (like powering my PC, keeping my lights on, and running the oven), but there are some applications where it just continues to make sense to use the high energy density of liquid hydrocarbon fuels.

Crap. I want see someone strap two or three JATO units on their back and try that out with one of those wing suits!
LOL, there would be pieces of ripped wing suit fabric fluttering gently to the ground after ignition!

Now, now, you will get the oversized electric golf kart fan boyz all atwitter about 0-60 mph times.
They are an excitable little grouping.
