Solution: \nAn innovative wing design patent employed to create a personal flight unit.

Overview:\nThe ParaWing is fundamentally a combination between Parasailing and Hang Gliding concepts. What sets the ParaWing apart from normal approaches is that the wing design is based on a researched avenue to increase performance using specific characteristics. The basic idea of having a \u2018tow vehicle\u2019 like a pickup truck in which to mount a base is the platform by which testing of the flight unit can be done using progressively more realistic simulations.

Having the ParaWing tow-flight concept is a test-bed to prove that the wing design and math will work. What isn\u2019t immediately clear is if the creation will enable adding powered flight. The short-term goal is to reach a prototype for wind-tunnel/real-world testing, and the long-term goal is to get the unit functional in tow-flight and iterate power sources to be able to disconnect and aviate akin to Yves Rossy, aka \u201cJetman.\u201d

At first I\u2019m not exactly sure of the market potential \u2013 or liabilities. What I am sure about is that this idea offers a path to a future where personal flight is actually viable. It took a lot of effort and risk to get aviation where it is today, and I want to be on the forefront of what tomorrow might bring.

My background in aviation is something I\u2019ve been around my entire life. I\u2019ve studied technological advancements in hardware, software, and materials like composites with relentless passion. Once this idea came to me, I knew it\u2019d be headline material. Now, I want to get selected in this process to bring it into reality. It\u2019s 2016, and we should have jetpacks by now!

will be coming over around next July for about 2 weeks.

Purpose of the trip is to check out some Unis in the USA for me, but will also be a holiday for my family -> 5 of us including me, with a 10 y/o girl, 15 y/o boy and me at 17.

Interests:

- would love to be able to see whether I would like it if I lived here/went to uni in the US (as opposed to Australia) -> so getting a feel for where I might live/work

- checking out some unis near SF

- holiday stuff: aquariums (I hear Monterey Bay is good), adrenaline stuff (theme parks, skydiving, etc - never done skydiving, parasailing etc but would like to, though not urgent)

- sports (skiing, snowboarding, water skiing -> haven't done these much, but would enjoy them)

Ideally would make sure that there is always something 'fun' at each of the places we go, so not just long scenic drives with a bored 10 y/o girl.

Would consider going to other places too if we can fit it in, not sure whether 4 days in SF would be enough, then 4 in NY, 4 in Florida?

What would you suggest, I'm a bit lost.

Purpose of the trip is to check out some Unis in the USA for me, but will also be a holiday for my family -> 5 of us including me, with a 10 y/o girl, 15 y/o boy and me at 17.

Interests:

- would love to be able to see whether I would like it if I lived here/went to uni in the US (as opposed to Australia) -> so getting a feel for where I might live/work

- checking out some unis near SF

- holiday stuff: aquariums (I hear Monterey Bay is good), adrenaline stuff (theme parks, skydiving, etc - never done skydiving, parasailing etc but would like to, though not urgent)

- sports (skiing, snowboarding, water skiing -> haven't done these much, but would enjoy them)

Ideally would make sure that there is always something 'fun' at each of the places we go, so not just long scenic drives with a bored 10 y/o girl.

Would consider going to other places too if we can fit it in, not sure whether 4 days in SF would be enough, then 4 in NY, 4 in Florida?

What would you suggest, I'm a bit lost.
