It is known as paramoteur. Strap a propeller on your back, get the paragliding screen up and takeoff.

Hell, I even seen 'em flying at the Rugby League grand final (90,000 folks in all) 5 years back in Sydney Aaawwstralia as a promotional flying machine with some fancy banners awn 'em, and then after that we saw flying right along down there at the Bondi Beach with the same fancy coloured banners. Now that's some exposure for y'all, so I guess the boys at Engadget gotta get out more, poor things work too damn hard.. <br>"Scooter, get them Engadget boys one o them there ol' flying motor kites will ya son...."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GLN]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Parajet personal flying machine]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/11/the-parajet-personal-flying-machine/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/11/the-parajet-personal-flying-machine/</guid><description><![CDATA[Remember the Fan Man at the Ceasar's Palace? 1993 Fight was suspended for 21 minutes during the 7th round when a parachutist with a large fan strapped to his back crashed onto the ring apron.

Typically only possible time to fly is at sunrise or sunset when winds are calm.<br><br>Also, I don't know where they get the speed of 40+ mph in the original story... these craft only do 25mph unless you have a tailwind...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 2:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Parajet personal flying machine]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/11/the-parajet-personal-flying-machine/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/11/the-parajet-personal-flying-machine/</guid><description><![CDATA[I hate to beat a dead horse but heck this was even featured on the Simpsons a bunch of years back.
