OT: Holy Batwings!

[trekgeezer]

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

That's cool...I need one of them.

Looks like a bad G.I. Joe character.

I wonder what his name would be?

[Scott]

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?
