duh...everyone I know!

The Gryphonâ€™s designers, SPELCO GbR, are even planning to affix a relatively cheap and small turbo jet, which is used for unmanned military drones. Harnessing that jet, the glider would allow soldiers to jump lower, maintain altitude and travel farther than is currently possible.

Holy fucking shit!!! They want a jet on that thing! Where's the line start to fly it??

That would be a dream come true. When I was a kid I tried to design something like that. In traditional kid like fashion. I never thought something similar would ever be out there.
