Skyflash: Jetman-like wings designed to allow ground take off: "While most of us sit around grumbling and demanding to know, “where’s my jetpack?", German Fritz Unger and a group of friends have decided to do something about it. On a shoestring budget they are building their own one-man, jet-propelled wing.

On the left side of the power debate, you have your battery-electric options. Heavy, costly and slightly dangerous, this mode is still in its evolutionary infancy but is making headway against its dinosaur brethren."
