c'est magnifique!

At least this guy had more brains and knew to fly in the freezing cold of the Alps rather than meet the fate of fellow soarer Icarus.

How was his wheel-less landing??

How was his wheel-less landing??

I'm sort of curious how he did the landing too.

It's called a parachute.

"Very clever Mr. Bond! Very clever Indeed!"

"Just something Q dreamed up."

Bond moves to the couch, swirling his martini. He spies a pair of smooth, shapley legs.

"What's your name, sweetie?"

"Plenty... Plenty O'Toole."

"Named after your father, I see."

How was his wheel-less landing??

I believe the answer lies here:

But, he believes similar jet-powered wings will one day be more widely available to experienced parachutists ready for the ultimate flying experience.

"A Swiss pilot strapped on a jet-powered wing and leaped from a plane today for the first public demonstration of the homemade device, turning figure eights and soaring high above the Alps."

And the military forces of the world looked on with great interest indeed.

I saw an episode of Future Weapons (or something like it) on Discovery channel/history channel a couple of weeks back and they already have these in development.
Hell, they may already be in use.

That explains some UFO sightings.

That's totally awesome.
