Paul–As a pilot and skydiver, you are UNIQUELY QUALIFIED to comment on the problems and future of jet “hard wings” and “jet wingsuits” Most cannot even fathom the problems, challenges and opportunities–and potential solutions.
The aviation world is filled with “it’s right around the corner” promises that usually are dead ends. What demonstrated improvements would it take before you would fly either a rigid wing or jet wingsuit? Though I’m a former skydiver, and fly gliders, ultralights, and jets–I couldn’t even consider the logistical questions to ask–but YOU can. I’d be interested in your take on this relatively unexplored facet of flight.
