SJX122 —

Certainly one of the coolest things I've seen this year!!

What The #@$%!

JX and SJX do not exist according to ICAO. SX is Greece; JA is Japan. So, does anyone know where this aircraft is registered?

Paul Wisgerhof.
It is Japanese. This model is an M-02-J. Please see below link.

While reasearching this aircraft before posting I found several photos with the JX marking and references that the JX indicated an experimental aircraft from Japan.

Makes sense,my second thought was a new Jacki Chan Movie!!

Fabulous ! I WANT FLY WITH IT

magnifique, l'humain se rapproche de l'oiseau

Prefer a good old PA18....sorry..

Seems easy for the pilot to become FOD and get sucked into the engine.

Lean forward to minimize drag ? or are you the elevator ?

I'm sold on it.
I could sneer at all of the earth-bound commuters who are driving to work!

The pilot was later quoted as saying "WOW THAT OVERPASS WAS LOW"

Landing gear looks scary. Ground loop city. What is the approach speed? Couldn't wear enough clothes to prevent the road rash on the runway.

Whoa. Glider/ powered glider. Powered version 1 Nike AMT Netherlands jet. Vne 120 km (75 mph).

Taking a grasshopper in the teeth must hurt. Stall speed 27 mph.

Chris Curtis - Why for? Many somewhat scary features of a powerful jet flown from laying exposed on the top of the wing, but a bicycle, single main wheel isn't one of them. That configuration seemed good enough for the B-47, B-52, AV8 Harrier, The Europa light plane and a plethora of gliders. The sailplane I flew had no particular tendency to ground loop (unlike my conventional geared Swift), and was only a little odd feeling when you put one wing tip on the ground as you came to a stop, leaning over in the cockpit.

Is it commuter friendly lol.

To seatbelt or not to seatbelt. That is the question.

is there drink service??

Looks like a cousin to and ultra-light-fun to fly, just be careful.

This thing is base from an anime movie "nausicaä of the valley of the wind". she is flying a glider that is similar.
