JETPACKWINGSUITULTRALIGHTPARACHUTE

3.5/5 (235)


Jet powered wing is a personal carbon-fiber aircraft with no control surfaces. Instead, you will use skydiving techniques, like hands and legs movements, to control the wing. With motion controllers you are literally able to raise and lower your hands to roll and pitch, or pull chute toggles.

First versions of the jet wing were not able to take-off vertically, so the pilot had to jump out of a helicopter. You are still able to get inside of other aircraft and leave it anytime, both helicopters and airplanes, which can greatly increase flight time and maximum range.

But with the evolution of compact jet engines vertical take-off became possible - small nozzles are able to adjust wing attitude during hovering and, if you have enough skills, to perform transition from cruise flight into vertical hovering.

Avionics is fairly optimised and contains a helmet mounted display with most important aircraft data like airspeed, altitude, attitude, and tablet with basic controls - engines thrust, display and smoke settings, flight mode switch.

For safe landing, ram-air parachutes can be deployed and controlled by toggles. After smooth landing, you can refill fuel tanks and continue your flight if necessary.

It may look like fun to fly aircraft, but you have to prepare for the challenge. This thrilling and fascinating experience will open a new dimension of Microsoft Flight Simulator and add a new way of open world exploration!

The JW1 Skypirat is a four-engine wearable rigid-wing personal jetpack that consists of a delta wing that mounts to a user’s back. The wing features wingtip fences for yaw authority and lift efficiency, and two jet engines under each side. Each engine generates up to 100 pounds of thrust, for 400 pounds total.

With a maximum takeoff weight of 350 pounds, the JW1 Skypirat allows aviators to lift off vertically, hover, and then speed around for up to 15 minutes to a range of 56 miles. To land, the personal jetpack uses a parachute for safe descent.

The JW1 Skypirat is a unique aircraft that allows one to not just soar, but to carve tight maneuvers in the sky, to come to an aerial standstill, and to speed from point to point. It truly opens up new horizons of flight experiences.
