Jet-Man :)
 

Yves Rossy (Jet-Man) will attempt to cross the channel today. He's strapped himself to a carbon fibre wing and bolted 4 JetCat turbines to it. Then he'll jump out of a plane and head toward Dover. It flys realy well, considering he has no flight controls other than throttle and weight transfer! Could well be a damp french-man later today :)

Many dare not dream ... some wish to dream ... only a few live their dreams. This guy has taken his dream and made it happen. Can see the progress is amazing, his device is now getting better and better.

RE: Jet-Man :)

Its amazing that the wing will easily stall and this man dares to fly with it. Another milestone in flight ...
