That is really cool. It would be even cooler if he could knock guys down by giving them a blast of air too.

On the bounce!

Mind that fuel gage.

Cool but seems like it would make for easy target practice for pirates.

That video was posted in GD before. It's an insanely cool setup that's awesomeness is matched only by its impracticality.

So this is the first generation. Imagine what this will evolve in to.  Smaller, quieter, faster, longer range.

Maneuvering jets controlled by a computer.  The jets part of a suit instead of on the hands.

Brings stealth insertions to a whole new level.

I bet that's a bitch to get off in the water when you've sunk a couple hundred feet during a power failure.

"Do you know what we call flying soldiers on the battlefield?"
"Air support?"
"Skeet."

I was thinking the same thing.  A final version better have a quick release or inflatable life vest because you are going to sink like a rock.

Seems like the way to use it is to get alongside (as you would normally) and then just use it to very quickly get up to the deck and drop the ladder.

I watched a video where the inventor was learning to fly it and at one point he was in the water several times.  So i think floatation has been addressed.

So are they just going to let them land and drop ladder and come out to help you board? Seems like a lot of encumbrance for being first in a gun fight.

Well the alternative is doing it from a little boat alongside. Seeing the pirates try it in Captain Philips makes me think this would be much easier.

If two guys flew over one could drop the ladder and one could cover him.

Really, only alternative you could think of?  

Maybe someone will invent a flying whirly machine to magically deliver troops to the decks of ships by multiple means…
