Feels like one of those maneuvers that is great if no one is shooting back.

[talkaboutwacky]

They’re legit flying. It must be so satisfying feeling like a bird like these guys

[jrocksburr]

This seems like a technology that could be amazing for emergency medical situations in mountains and stuff, and if improved maybe in the military field.

[karl-erik]

5-10 years and we have operators infiling and exfiling with these. Amazing

[AlIegory]

Being able to cover a 25 minute hike over rough landscape in under 2 minutes is wild.

[bpmgaming]

Watching him do that little jog into a spring step into the air is literally everything I've dreamed of since I was a child

[philipvecchio]

I could see these being used like Calvary at the end of the 1800s where they were basically mounted Infantry. Being able to show up rapidly in an unexpected place has it's value, and then being able to leave again.

[painlesschunk]

I hope these things become more publically available in the next few years

US Navy captain with a little tear in his eye:
"I thought I would never say this, but... ALL HANDS, prepare to board!"

[muhendisselo]

incredible. you're really flying. If we saw this in the 90s, we would talk for 1 week. Now our surprise time is one minute

[rickdeckard]

Amazing, if only they can make a version where you're not a sitting duck when airborne but it's great to see the improvements they've made so far.

[glenzisko]

That’s awesome in a few years we’ll have a Ironman suit for real. Tony Stark would be proud 👍

[marinenukem]

I still can’t believe jet packs actually exist now. It’s insane.

[TDragonus]

This is straight out of Command & Conquer bro, THIS is the future I always had in mind.

[joebaxter]

This is probably the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Lets get the civilian version out soon. Rocket Man is real.

[A-usqv]

what kind of qualification to join this company?

[alexanderhorstkotter]

I am really impressed with how much they improved their initial design

[boltvanderhuge]

Would be interesting to see these scenarios from the "enemy" positions

[pnatsu]

Imagine using this in space where you can really freely fly.

[Criminaljustice]

Awesome tech. Super vulnerable during flight with no weapons.
