Now to combine the Rossi wing with the Mayman
jetpack and get vertical takeoff and landing and wingborne flight.
I'd want a ballistic parachute too.

by the fire from the mufflers (if you can call them mufflers)
here is something else about jetpacks close to wingtips:

I ran into this when checking the AMT website a
few days ago <http://www.amtjets.com/>www.amtjets.com
Then did a search and this article seems one of
the better ones with some technical detail and photos.

Made ABCÂ news online this morning too.
What I found amazing as that I though his
autostab and control system must be pretty good
as it seems to fly so smoothly and steadily but
as the article makes clear there isn't one. Astounding!
Those AMT Nike engines are 80 Kg thrust each and
two, as on the jetpack, will happily launch the
heaviest Open Class gliders with good single engine performance.
As is being shown by Yves Rossi and now David
Mayman, the engines seem to be robust and give little operational trouble.
