I've watched the pelicans land, and with wings that you can actually flex, as opposed to a still paraglider, I think eventually it would be possible to land gracefully. And you could take off from an airplane flying relatively low, just like skydivers do, except you wouldnt deploy your parachute unless your wings don't work (... oh shit!). What do you say? You want to give it a test drive?

I've been watching a lot of pelicans fly lately and I observe how they barely flap their wings as opposed to other birds flying around the area. Then, between beers, I thought of some kind of helium suit with flexiible wings. The wings, just like birds, would be made of a hollow ultra light metal skeleton. The suit itself would also have various compartments pumped with helium, kind of like how soldiers have pockets all over to distribute the weight. Does anyone think that with something of this type and jumping off a plain it would be possible to just fly around and chillax kind of how pelicans do.
