Apparently both Helicopter & Airplane in one.

Great, but aren't you afraid someone will see you flying it?

(video doesn't work for me).

I noticed earlier that with the bird-man flying suits published L/D, and

Fueltank in backpack, couple of handles on the engines, and you've even
got thrust vectoring.
