    Does this mean that if I inhaled a lot of air very fast and farted with vigor, I would be a human jet engine?��

    Maybe.

    Though I suspect you'd fly more like a miller moth
    than a jet.

    I always laugh when people freak out about moths.

    The NPR link said over 100, but another I read stated 150. I just don't get excited about someone peddling in the vacuum created by a slipstream.

    Want to impress me? Pull out of the slipstream at 180 and maintain speed.

    Meanwhile, the human powered records are approaching 90mph.
