Holy Batman suits! More than just a Purim costume

If you’re the jumping-out-of-planes and dressing-up-in-leggings type, there is great news in the air. The Technion: Israel Institute of Technology’s students (the same smart peeps who brought you the time travel machine) are perfecting a winged, Batman-like flying suit, ideal if you find yourself in need of a graceful landing from a plane.

Fans of the latest Batman Movie, The Dark Knight, will be thrilled that they can try to imitate the man in a  black cape with the raspy, robotic voice, but this dare devil stunt should be relegated to professional pilots only, says the Jerusalem Post.

Unfortunately for Superman fans, the flyinig suit developers claim that a Superman landing didn’t work out, so you might have to leave your shiny blue underpants hanging on the closet hanger for Halloween or Purim.
