Swiss pilot is one step closer to human Starscream.
This is pretty neat, a swiss pilot has designed back-mounted wings with little jet engines on them. He can jump out of an airplane and fly for four or five minutes, steering by turning his body and the wings. This is important scientifically, because it gets us one step closer to real live transformers. You need unfoldable, working wings, and here they are in this video. He even has a rocking soundtrack. The transformers were, of course, all about the rock as well.
Jetman!
Now he needs a way to land without a parachute. Parachutes are not as cool as landing straight into a jog and pulling out a laser gun. Or, maybe this is one step closer to real live G.I. Joes. He should yell "Cobra!" when he jumps out of that plane.
