So a while back we have a thread about Jetpacks where we discussed what it would take to actually make one work. The general consensus was that with such a high thrust to weight ratio even a small wing would vastly improve the speed and range of a jetpack. This is because any vertical thrust the wing can take off the engine can be diverted for horizontal thrust and movement.
Well, Jetman in Dubai threw a wing on a jetpack and the thing performs more than twice as well as the previous record. It goes up to 250mph and has already set a new record of near 6000 feet.
