8 minutes on kerosene! He needs to start work on the arc generator.

Seal Team 6 will have them by next month, with stealth tech of course and some top secret foam fuel that is lightweight and expands to 12 times it's mass inside the compressed container....

Oh please, that's soooooo last century.



Think outside of the box:

that dude is nuts, he puts a hell of a lot of faith in those kerosene engines. doesn't seem like there is any way to recover from a stall unless he can glide long enough to make it back down to the ground.

I would put some switch blade like wing extensions on there so I could get up high a then flip open the glider wings and soar to get maximum flight time. Flip them back in and fire up the jets again...

He flies with a parachute.

And they even have planes with parachutes now.

I thought of that invention when I was 10


Edit: Talking about the parachute for a plane.

 

[~RaZr~]

Freaking awesome invention. I wonder how much it would cost....

Not serious, I don't want to die.

Most of us did because it's common sense. I also always wondered why the seat cushion acted as a flotation device but not a parachute,it's not a boat... When I was on deployment I watched a helicopter drop straight out of the sky killing the 3 sailors aboard and wondered why they couldn't make the tail rotor shaft covers able to flare out and act as wings so a pilot could glide to safety or maybe the main rotors could halt and droop down allowing a parachute to deploy just aft of the rotor hub...

How does the exhaust not burn his feet off???
