Meet Jarno Smeets, a mechanical engineer who has invented a device that allows him to takoff, fly and land like a bird with what he calls a “semi human powered flying device”. He just successfully completed his first test flight. I hope we see a lot from him in the near future. Here is video of his first flight:
Former Space Shuttle aerospace technician and private pilot now looking towards the next great adventure. Soon to be heading home from my overseas assignment! Transfered my blog from MySpace to here so check my older stuff for info and pictures from my days in space shuttle processing- lots of behind the scenes stuff!
He drew pics, flew planes, fought fires and helped launch people into space - what will he do next?
Wow is right! I have goosebumps and tears in my eyes, I want to do that so badly!
It does look like fun- hope it is true and not CGI like they are insinuating.
What? How dare anyone burst my bubble like that. I choose to believe it’s true 🙂
Another hoax. Don’t regret reliving the childhood belief that anything was possible, though.
