hello all, i am here to ask a question about whether or not it is feasible to construct such an aircraft. but first off, i would like to point out that this is not a project i intend to undertake at this time. i merely want to ask a few things. im currently working on a recumbent trike, so i have already busied myself with something else (and making an aircraft is much more expensive). so, my idea...
im sure i do not have to tell you all who jet man is. well ever since i saw him on youtube, i became interested in his form of flying. then i started thinking if i could take such a design, and take it one step further. now the flaws in rossys design are that he needs to be taken up to a release altitude, and requires a parachute to safely land. so my idea is to design something that can incorporate an undercarriage, essentially turning it into an aircraft in which the pilot flies prone, and to top it all off with completely enclosing the pilot within a blended wing design (ultimately making the aircraft large as well...possibly with a wing span of 10m - very rough estimate though), including all basic controls within relatively easy reach.
which brings me to the name of the title...yep, thats who i am!
