Still, those wings would tear right off.

Just because some contraption looks like it would never fly, doesn't mean it won't.

Yves Rossy, the Jetman. Reportedly, the wings and engines weight 120 lbs. The four engines are JetCat P200's, delivering 50 lbs of thrust each. Fuel economy good enough for eight minutes over the Grand Canyon.
