    I would love to experience a flight on a wind suit. Flying like a bird… Sort of.
    I’m just too afraid to die though and must be expensive anyway.

      Dying is def a downside, nm the price point.

    He should go both ways. 1 model that is smaller and one that is more powerful.

    Next level of flying suit.. what an innovation.

  22. JohnyTechReview

    That opening statement is 🧢. Closest to flying as a bird? Wing suit exist for a long time bro

    looks like fun!!

    Leaning towards the former? What does that mean?

  28. James White

    January 28, 2022 at 10:44 pm

    just so you know the top speed would have been inhibited by the engine, not enhanced. 333kms an hour is the world record atm.

  29. Alex Fracyon

    January 28, 2022 at 10:51 pm

    So this was powered by electric fans? I can’t believe he reached that speed with those small ducts

  30. Brenly

    January 28, 2022 at 11:07 pm

    Electric power is the way no heat for this case

  31. Nirvezz

    Send it to Norman and see what he can do

  32. Tim Taylor

    January 28, 2022 at 11:15 pm

    Too funny, “flying like a bird”? Birds don’t fly like bricks. You want to fly like a bird get in a glider or hang glider.

    There will be spin-off technologies from these extreme spsorts.

    Great achievement so far. Pilot must felt like Superman power.
    Love to see more advanced developments

    They should have an underwater version.

  39. Shadow Banned

    An invention like that could see more people taking up the sport in my opinion its a great idea.

  40. jack hawkins

    I am curious to know how and where does he land in that thing

  41. Mike's Road Trip

    Looks amazing. What a rush that must be!

  42. Sancheez

    January 29, 2022 at 12:14 am

    put roller skates on and he can land on a runway

  43. serafin nieves

    January 29, 2022 at 12:20 am

    This idea will definitely take off, no pun intended. This will be aligned with hang gliding at a higher level. I have hang gliding on my bucket list, but I might just opt for this instead.

  44. Jerome Demers

    January 29, 2022 at 12:28 am

    I don’t think we saw 5min of sustain flight. That would be 11.5km going 138km/h for 5min.

  45. pashe01

    I need to do this

  46. Kirk Engnath

    January 29, 2022 at 12:38 am

    If you are going to the effort of making wingsuit with it’s own power beyond gravity I would think that would like to have an extended period of time to fly. You are already touching on some of the better point’s of powered flight why not go for an extend flight time. Think about state to state flying, how great would it be to decide to go to Las Vegas grab your wingsuit with powered flight and then go to a launch tower. You were in California and then you’re in Las Vegas. As long as you remember no drunk wingsuit flying.

    I can almost see Navy Seals wearing these for low altitude combat drop.

    That’s so dumb!! ‘The closest to flying like a bird” Have you NOT heard of the guys with the gas powered jet-pack like 2 years ago?? Do you live under a rock?? Oh an up to only 5 mins of thrust.. come on.. that’s lame

  49. KingDavid

    January 29, 2022 at 1:22 am

    I only clicked on this video because I thought the title said “world’s first electronic wingsuit FIGHT” smh

  50. Ken L.

    January 29, 2022 at 1:23 am

    I think the M version will give him both more both and better handling, just saying.

  51. HOLLA SOUNDS

    January 29, 2022 at 7:50 pm

    I thought about this the first time I ever see a wing suit I thought why dont they make a jet pack.

  52. Jens Sabai

    January 29, 2022 at 8:06 pm

    can he use the jet to slow down and landing with out parachute?🙃

  53. cashbull59

    January 29, 2022 at 8:28 pm

    it could save a lot of idiots from dying! or let them take it to the everest! that will kill them eventually!

  54. steven herrold

    January 29, 2022 at 8:51 pm

    i wonder what the ancients would say? if you said i can fly like bird did the ancient Egyptians have a place for people
    they thought were mentally ill nut case? and how were they treated

  55. Ronald Williams

    January 29, 2022 at 9:17 pm

    What would the green premium be if everyone use this mode of transport? Drones picking you up and you fly to work 😆

  56. Jesse Lima

    January 29, 2022 at 10:26 pm

    Awesome!!!!
    He should make it keep the high thrust longer. More thrust for more time = more flying time, though more fun!

    now do vertical take off and landing version

    Its a shame its lithium powered ….. that just means its an environmental and ethical disaster….. Lithium mining is so bad for the environment and the minerals for them are mined by child slaves in the congo. Worse is the fact they know how to make lithium batteries better and more effective but they dont want to do it because of the cost

  63. Yorkiepoocharlie

    Very cool.

  64. Lewis Doherty

    January 29, 2022 at 11:47 pm

    The fatality rate for non-powered wing suits is high. I guess this will be something else to expand the number of people involved. You can fly like Superman, but when you hit something, you’re not Superman.

    So…. Who’s gonna buy it? This guy and his two buddies?

  72. Terry Tytula

    January 30, 2022 at 1:03 am

    I’ve always though these guys should have a “reserve” if they screw up and are to low, they hit a button and a small solid fuel rocket ignites and they boosts them to safety. This idea goes even further.

  83. Wize Omz TM

    January 30, 2022 at 10:11 pm

    That’s crazy.. The funny thing is years and years ago as a young teen in the late 90’s I studied bat maneuverability and how quickly they can correct flight and how little it takes for them to take off.. I went through so many types of wings because I had an idea of my own that I could actually make a “human,” powered wingsuit.. I still thinks it possible if a bird or bat can learn to fly than a human with the “correct wing span/ length,” and our “light weight ” materials we have today then I definitely could create something now, that I couldnt back when I was 13 or 14.. I can lift my own weight easily x3 with just my arms.. I’m getting back in the lab to replicate bat wings and slapping it onto my body..🤔
    I’m going to be a real life “Gargoyle!” 😁
    Has to be possibly for the right type of body of course.. Get active and stay healthy! Much Love!

  84. KAR 7

    January 30, 2022 at 10:22 pm

    I keep thinking about the military uses for this, I’m assuming fairly quiet, so you should be able to bring an entire special forces team very stealthy

  85. The FPV Life

    Next … Winglets on the he!met w heads up display.

  86. Peter Dixon

    January 30, 2022 at 10:56 pm

    Amazing, but the risk of becoming a flesh pancake is astronomical. It’s a very different type of human than me who would consider such an activity.

  89. savagex466

    January 30, 2022 at 11:55 pm

    What do you mean when you say hes leaning towards the former ? So does he want to make it lighter ? Or does he want to make it more powerful ?

  90. Vaux Glandzer

    January 31, 2022 at 12:15 am

    Similar to Ironman suit that used powered from the chest. Genius & cool innovation/invention!

  91. JDT738126

    January 31, 2022 at 12:40 am

    How much

  92. Whyte Noyse

    January 31, 2022 at 12:41 am

    “What he calls an impeller”…… Yeah pretty sure that’s what everyone else would call it too. He didn’t invent the impeller lol.

  93. Nai Man

    January 31, 2022 at 12:49 am

    Seems like this electric wingsuit was not able to soar any higher than the initial point of dropoff. It seems like more power is needed in the propulsion system.

  94. Ichirou Takashima

    January 31, 2022 at 12:52 am

    Doubting the title. But that’s to be expected of CNET. Jetpacks are the closest thing you can do and much better for human flight. You don’t need to jump off a freaking helicopter if you have a jetpack.

  95. Ryan Wilson

    January 31, 2022 at 12:54 am

    @4:03 It is said that Peter tops out at 186mph and that its 3 times faster than most other wing suit divers… So other wingsuit divers are only reaching speeds of 62mph?? That doesn’t seem right so I ask maybe someone who does? Thanks guys

  96. DR. DR

    January 31, 2022 at 12:55 am

    I’m sure the military will be interested in this for certain applications.

  97. Dale Versfelt

    January 31, 2022 at 1:09 am

    No mention of specialized leak proof underwear for that first jump?

  98. Cesar Vargas

    January 31, 2022 at 1:28 am

    Sick!!!!🤙🏽✌🏽

  99. John Carl DeMay

    January 31, 2022 at 1:30 am

    I think he needs to team up with the jet pack people to create 1 complete product. Takes off, hovers and fly’s like a wing suit. And chop chop it’s 2022 I been needing this
