What's the name of the jet engine and how much do they cost? I want one for my Powered Hang Glider!

@gummy0021 Thanks!

Ive seen videos of these mini jet engines catching fire and or blowing up... That would suck! I would love to see pics of the attachment area and where he puts the fuel tanks etc. Very fascinating stuff

When will jpws be used for base jumping. You can jump off the Space Needle & fly a mile. The whole idea behind a powered wingsuit is to fly further than your inirial altitude would normally allow.

@tanelvi Thanks men !!

@hanphilip i saw another video of a rocket powered wingsuit and he said he stayed at 2000ft until he ran out of fuel 20 seconds or so at the same altitude those wingsuits have some serious lift on them :D

Wow, I'm a skydiver with 40 jumps but I'm wondering. What was your down speed towards earth during the time you activated the engines? And what was your forward speed compared to a regular wingsuit forward speed?
Crazy shit man keep it up!
Blue Skies Black Death.

@JumpTeigen This flight- No.
Visa posted about his later flights in Facebook: Had a successful rocket test with a sophisticated flightrecording device. Exit alt 1460, got levelflight at 1150m. Lenght over 4 minutes, deploy alt 960m. airspeed around 180 km/h . During 30 seconds I was able to climb 30 m. Test shows that angle of the attac has to be less than 10 degreess and Phoenix-fly wingsuit i...s actually working as a wing and creating lift :) Very happy now
