Check this out, looks right out of the comic books or a Bond movie. I'd like to see the jet powered version in use.
Special Forces strap on Batwings (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=389357&in_page_id=1770)
That's cool...I need one of them.
Looks like a bad G.I. Joe character.
I wonder what his name would be?
Phew !......Thats wild. I can see some interesting movies coming from this.
Not this suit, but similar.

Interesting. Being able to drop your guys from a hundred miles out would be a big bonus. I wonder what the radar signature would be.
That being said, someone shooting your down with a flak gun or ground to air missile would suck. Paratroopers have to worry about this too, but I would guess the enemy would just utilize a machinegun. Not so easy when you have a bat-winged member of Rainbow Six speeding past at 200 mph.
Accroding to the blurb, it's got jet engines, a top speed of 140 mph and a range of 123 miles. If you work in a high rise building, no more traffic jams for you. I can just see all the executives soaring home from the skyscapers! How cool is that?
