Simply beyond cool. I hope this catches on because its a spectacular way to power a hang glider

[mag.alenhodzic]

This is the most amazing hang gliding video I have ever seen. Congratulations Matjaz. Simply brilliant

[crashdown]

Ok, for all the people asking how to get the motor and how to get a wing, I fly a lot, people die flying the wings w/o motors. If you wanna actually do this, go spend a couple years flying gliders

Jetcat turbine modified mosquito harness? Matjaz is one of the best hang glider pilots out there !!

[djvertigo]

looks like a hobby motor! great idea!

[kavehvejdani]

How many kg of thrust? And how many liters of fuel per minute?

[kopronko]

[hermozart]

[geiseric]

Cool, I like this. BTW, where can I find a engine like yours?is it available at online market?
One more thing, how much is the hang glider itself?
Thanks in advance

[alexanderzohrens]

How much thrust does the jet-engine give?

[jonnyboat]

How long can it fly using the motor? How much fuel do you carry?

[tonymind]

In today's world everything os possible but people choose to be ignorant, lazy, and disrespectfull to life itself. Jet engine on a hanglider is just one more possibility and dream come true.

[Operator_Fate]

i really wish i can do this what engine thats powering it

[thedronehorseman]

A few questions, what is the maximum range? Is it fuel efficient? Do you use kerosene? What’s the maximum speed? What model is your glider? Can you sell a complete jet hang glider? For what price? Thanks in advanced! I’m very very interested!

[friedrichbahk]

and american army will have interest yours. this development has any possibility that for Amphibious landing and missile interceptor. Even if a missile comes, if a person shoots directly in the air above the expected point, it will be able to intercept the missile with more precise firing.

what!? 1 dislike? I guess that one was by mistake

[hanskloss]

Good idea but red bull has a lot of money so they can afford this
