About Me:
 
I'm Jarno Smeets, a mechanical engineer from the Netherlands who loves mountainbiking, kiting and hanggliding. Fascinated by new technology, robotics, aerodynamics and science in general.

Right here I'm going to share my experiences during the building process of my own flying device. Real wings that will hopefully help me to fly like a bird.

Ik ben Jarno Smeets, een mechanical engineer uit Den Haag en een voorliefde voor alles dat vliegt. Mijn fascinaties zijn aerodynamica, robotica, technologie en wetenschap in het algemeen. Verder hou ik van kitesurfen, hanggliden en mountainbiken.

Op mijn Youtube kanaal deel ik mijn project Human Birdwings en mijn ervaringen met het bouwen van mijn eigen vleugels waarmee ik hoop te kunnen vliegen zoals een vogel!!

The wings did their job! The stakes were high for me, so I was disappointed that I only made a tiny hop in the air. But it worked!

I've been searching the internet for almost a year looking for such people who have strong belief that they can do it when I found your channel. You're so close to have it all done, and I believe you can do it if you haven't already.

Поздравляю! А на горочке против ветра- я думаю будет парение

It was amazing to see the first test flight with your wings. I just gotta say, ignore those comments saying it is fake. Those who followed your work know it is real, and someday the wings will function just like you planned. Looking forward to your next videos.

Als een project faalt is het niet de bedoeling dat je de boel gaat lopen belazeren.

i can't wait to see how this all turns out, i'm a big fan of leonardo da vinci's work, especially that on birds, and i think if he were here today, this is a project he would be thoroughly behind

@crazymike65: i know! Can't wait either. But unfortunately the wheather is shitty and I really have to wrap my head around the tiny details that will make the difference. Makes me impatient too! But I must say, your (and everybody's) support is most welcome. Makes me realise i'm not allone in this! Thanks Mike!

Ah man, I've been itching to find out the result of all your work. Really, really hoping you took to the sky.

Yes. But, not so high because i'm afraid of heights *shame*
EVERYBODY IS DREAMING ABOUT THIS. KEEP UP YOUR WORK! ONCE (NOT IF, BUT ONCE) YOU DO IT, I THINK MANY WILL FOLLOW YOUR EXAMPLE, I KNOW I WILL! YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE IN THIS DESTRUCTIVE WORLD, AND THAT IT SELF IS WORTH A LOT!
All the time..But before personal flight is achieved I'll just have to stick to the gliders.. :P
