What gets me is that it looks so simple, it should have been made in the late 1920's. That old B&W clip of the guy using wood wings flying off a bridge and splashing in the water comes to mind. If not in the 20's it should have been ready in WW II.

I’m curious about the delta wing. Since it’s not supersonic, wouldn’t straight wings be more efficient?
Anyone know?

The title brought to mind Reno and Batman Jack.

On the hiding aspect they might look at having it break down into three sections that lock into place with a quick-connect/disconnect device.

This will add new meaning to "Death From Above".

There going to have to englarge the doors on some fixed wing aircraft to get them out of the plane. Pretty cool though. I wonder where the stow their rifle and gear on this thing?
