Alpha Wings $460
Powered by pressurized CO2. Comes with 6 standard 12 gram unthreaded CO2 cartridges and loader. Each cartridge can fill up the wing tanks twice and for each fill you can open and close the wings 18-20 times. The CO2 cartridges which power the wings are the same as the kind used for BB guns and are quite common. A 15 pack can be purchased at walmart for 20 dollars.
The wings are controlled by a hand held control pad (not shown). CO2 is loaded into the tanks on the wings via a bicycle tire style connector. If CO2 cartridges are not available these wings can also be refilled at gas stations and wherever compressed air is available.
As with all gadgets they are constantly being improved. Since these pictures have been taken (March 2007) the standard wing design has been upgraded to close tighter reducing the closed width by 20%.
