Also the very similar wingsuit in War, p164.

For some reason this came to mind...

[KarmaInferno]

Yeah, same wingsuits discussed on page one of this thread.

Funny, that.

i had a feeling they had been mentioned already, but could not be assed to go back across the pages to check.

Was a natural extension of the current conversation. I regret nothing!

How about light wight electro stimulated memory fabric rather then an engine for movement. You would need some way of sequencing the current. For "wing bones" sections of the wing could stay inflexable while a current was running through it. Most memory materials have greater jurk strength then human muscle for a lower cost in energy and as for creating lift the entire wing is a muscle, it could be decorated to look like fethers or leather wings, finaly when unpowerd it can fold it away in body housings. I am not an engineer but I think it is workable in SR4's tech level , I must admit it sounds expensive                       

thoughts?

Memory cloth is a decent choice, but the wings would always be exposed, which could cause trouble if you're facing environmental hazards, or you have to wear a pack or other clothing/gear that would interfere with deployment. That's assuming you could get it big enough to support someone aloft without Hollywood physics.

Something I did put together is the Glide-Pak, a deployable glider you can wear.

I skipped a few pages so if this duplicates something sorry.

Since we have been bringing up war what are those memory weapons that can turn into any melee weapon but only takes up the size of a small stick?  Weapon versions of memory cloth or something.  2 reservoirs in your back could form a semi rigid frame with memory cloth filling in the gaps.

That's memory metal. Same idea as memory cloth, but with a high strength non-ferric metal. The two could easily work in conjunction, though.

Just remember that you'd still have to keep the cloth somewhere that it could expand, meaning it would be vulnerable to rips and tears. And to get the wing space you'd need to support a metahuman, you're pretty much talking about a batman cloak. Which will stand out.

Could one design a duster to serve the same purpose?

[Aelavel]

hmmmm, maybe some type of housings for the "cloth" wings, like in the calves, forerms, & torso, with them being held in place by some electro-magnets....

[beowulf_of_wa]

actually after reading all this, i wanna "design" an armor suit with collapsed wings. totally silverhawks, minus the silver part, camo or ruthenthium unstead.

Programmable Ruthenium, the kind like cars and Second Skin outfits have, so that it can go Chameleon or look like anything you want.

That sounds interesting. Maybe use a chameleon suit as the base?

Was thinking the same thing, lol
