Nicolai Von Jenkins: Powered Skydiving
Adding power to a paraglider makes it powered paragliding. Adding power to a skydiver makes it Powered Skydiving. It takes a lot of power to keep a skydiver aloft without his parachute open. The amount of power required to fly any craft, including a powered skydiver, depends on its weight and sink rate. A skydiver, even wearing a wingsuit, has an enormous sink rateāin excess of 3000 feet per minute. That requires a lot of power. Nicolai Von Jenkins has acomplished this in the above picture.
