Oh daddy, would you look at that. Forget
jetpacks, we've got a deep ache in our G-Jetson-loin for this, Atair Aerospace's EXO-Wing, the world's smallest human-piloted jet. Smaller even, than the
Gryphon parachute. It's on display right now in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of its
Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy collection. The only thing we know about the EXO-Wing is that the twin micro-turbine-powered contraption is light enough to be worn as a backpack. Hell, we don't even know if it really works. Regardless, we've got our weekend booked... up, up and away!
P.S. The webbed creature below the EXO-Wing is sporting an Aerosuit for skydivers and Aquaman wannabes with a thing for Tom Jones.

Dood this totally works. it is on CNN today. look up fusion man or jetman on youtube. It doesnt take off or land but the wearer jumps out of a plane and has a parachute to land. He controls the wing with his arms and legs and i think there are controls on his hips when he shifts his weight. Itss sooooo sick
