The Jump Glider could be the first in a new generation of robots, harnessing
aerodynamic lift to travel further than it would if it simply hopped, and without
using additional energy.
All the classic styling cues are present, including uniquely shaped and profiled bumpers — that up front now
use hydraulically operated elements that deploy above 75 mph to reduce
lift at speed — wider sills underneath the doors, cooling ducts within the rear fenders and a prominent bi-plane rear wing that also extends out at 75 mph to counter the
aerodynamic changes taking place up front.
