Since it is the weekend we thought we’d take a small break (and we mean small) from the normal posts today.
Everyday we spend a small bit of time getting up to date on the happenings of our little world and especially in the business and tech world. We have seen a lot of things but you need to check this out!
As you probably know, Iron Man has been KICKING some serious butt at the box office in the last week or so (great movie in our opinion) and we were wondering if the comic/movie version of Iron Man has giving some ideas to people.
What kind of ideas you ask?
Well, to fly of course!
Think we are crazy… well check out Yves Rossy!
This guy made his first public flight over the Swiss Alps on May 14th 2008 while being strapped to his self-made jet powered wings.
This is what Mr. Rossy did – he hopped into a Pilatus Porter aircraft and waited until it rose to around 7,500 feet. Then he jumped out of the plane and unfolded his 8-foot wings that we’re strapped to his back.
After he jumped out of the plane he allowed himself to gently glide across the sky as a crowd of people watched below. He then triggered his four jet turbines and quickly accelerated to almost 200 mph while the crowd below him quickly gasped then began cheering loudly.
Yves Rossy allowed himself to sore above the Rhone valley as he sometimes rose 2,600 feet into the air and with one last pass he waved to the crowd below and simply tipped his wings, flipped to his back and leveled out again as he executed an amazing 360 (that he never tried before), he then deployed his parachute and safely hit the ground.
OK, so it is not exactly the same as Iron Man.. but you got to admit, that was pretty cool!
Check out the video of the whole event at…

So our question to you… would you jump out of a plane with a jet pack strapped to your butt?

Reminds me of stunt junkies, you hear the idea and think the person about to perform the stunt is an absolute fruit cake out of his mind, then he pulls it off and you’re amazed - but you still think he’s crazy. Awesome video though…

I have yet to see Iron Man, I have heard though that it is a great movie. Don’t know if I should trust them though… I’ve heard them say many movies that were great in the past but that were really terrible.

Funny that you mentioned this flying suit, because shortly after, a news piece ran on this robotic “strong suit”. http://www.kansascity.com/news/nation/story/622468.html
Combine the jetpack with this, and we may have modern day ironmen on the frontlines!
Honestly though, we’re not very far away from seeing this stuff with the exponential rate of technology growth. Pretty cool, eh?

That is the best thing I have seen. That guy has balls. Yes he had a parachute, but he probably just opened the gate for a new sport. He could have jumped out, opened the wings, and then they broke off from the force. That guy is a legend! For halloween he should dress up as the creature from jeepers creapers.
