Future Fast forward: Winged Suit Soldiers

This is described as a modular upgrade for parachute systems for use in “high-altitude, high-opening” jump missions, typically carried out by Special Forces. This 6-foot wing gives a glide ratio of 5:1, which means that a drop from 30,000 feet will allow you to glide about 30 miles. The makers estimate that this would take around 15 minutes, giving an average speed of about 60 miles an hour. Due to the fact that all equipment is hidden in a lifting body optimized for stealth, the Radar-signature is extremly low. Detection of incoming GRYPHON-soldiers by airborne or ground radar will be extremely difficult. The company does not seem to have had any public offers for Gryphon yet — although, given the nature of likely customers, those offers might be kept relatively quiet.
