Interesting. I'd love to see more of what he was really able to do. From the end it sounds like he was able to maintain a steady flight level but I wonder if he was able to climb any. I think I've seen somewhere a similar setup with a rigid wing structure. It would appear we are getting very near to the point where small jet engines have the power to weight ratio required to make a small personal flight craft/suit possible. Lifting off is still the big problem however.

Personally however I'm not sure I want jet fuel strapped to my body in hot water bottles.
