Attack Wing: Glider Makes Waves With Stealth and Speed

I want one! I need one! This is totally cool! Every terrorist in the world is going to be trying to get one, but so is every Special Forces guy. Of course, all the cool stuff like this all the thrill jocks really want.

FOXNews.com - Attack Wing: Glider Makes Waves With Stealth and Speed - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "It weighs only 30 pounds and can be fully weaponized for assault and rescue. It has a 6-foot jet-wing that is steered with handheld rotary controls connected to its rudder. And it can hide more than 100 pounds of combat gear in a built-in compartment.

The Gryphon attack glider, designed to penetrate combat zones at 135 miles per hour, could revolutionize the art of parachuting. It has got to be at the top of James Bond’s Christmas list this year.

A vision straight out of 'Batman,' the carbon-fiber stealth glider quadruples the speed of similar craft — and there are quite a few special forces soldiers who would like to jump out of a plane at 30,000 feet and give it a whirl."
