Rocketman (Fusion Man)

[timrs2001]

Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!! Looks like Rocket Lad got his idea from Toy Story.

[BillionDollarZombie]

Just the free fall from the Helicopter would make me shit my pants.

[deadscene666]

this is so fucking amazing i would give anything to do this just once

[Tjaxart]

Its 2010 and people sit around wishing for jetpacks and hover cars. Yves had the courage and drive to take it upon himself to make the dream happen... 1:25 he boosts over the freaking alps!! I love this guy, hero.

[keyblade512]

Boy, I would do anything to fly like that. Man what a thrill that would be.

[areadynotev]

A human dream has been reality!!!!

[RoboTekno]

epic

[p1q0]

This is generally pretty stupid. It looks like he can't launch on his own, so really, what's the point?  Assuming it works flawlessly he still have to solve take off. This is just a guy for whom racing bikes at 120mph on the weekends wasn't good enough.

[Jenny2724]

I seen this in my social studies class i thought it was pretty cool LOL

[onpsxmember]

have you ever heard of prototypes?

you have to test it, you have lots of money&time to have the first one

after that you have the data to build it in mass production

you know what to do, so its much cheaper...

[jackno234]

$285,000 wat a rip

[itsjeffreytime]

oh nooo, this man built a jetpack, and it would cost...i dun no, $20 maybe, maybe $30

[Edos222]

That would feel soo good.

[roy6903bl]

so bad

[JizzlTizzl]

The first thing I thought when he opened his wings was "Too infinity and beyond!" But seriously, watching him fly like that just made me feel good.

[futboleroR10]

adrenaline rush? hahah

thats must be fucking cool

[ericofnewport]

This man is my "FUCKING" hero!

[mammal360]

well he does fly so I can see why.

[mistawabit]

I want one.

[CHERUBboy50]

i wish i could do that

[CHERUBboy50]

thats really cool

[cyclemen]

That is fucking awsome. Wish i had one.

[thedarkness265754]

its the best technology we been waiting for a few years. sure i mostly think the army will use this. but this would also come in handy in future flying cars. oh yeah hehehehehe

[Assasin0021]

At just about 5-6 seconds into the video, if you watch closely, you can see him open up the wings to their full length.

[feerof]

i'm glad you're up to date with the current world news

[IndIka024]

how long was he able to fly for before having to land?

[IndIka024]

to answer myself, he flew for 9 minutes. The other video has an interview with him.. awesome.

[thabanka]

this is one of the most amazing things i've seen on you tube,it just shows how a dream can become rality if you just work realy hard @ it

[jmjprodutions]

awesome not fake i heard it on the radio

[xjet]

I wonder if he could take-off from a flat surface if he wore roller-blades? ;-)

[ChaosFyre315]

i think this is revolutionary. it looks so compact and lightweight. imagine the military using these for solo ops - haha aerial combat. we'd have Boba Fetts comin out.

[MirkosWirz]

@ChaosFyre315

Not that I'm that kind that can't see the W A R word, but Santos Dumont comitted suicide after he saw Airplanes dropping bombs, I think that we need to look after the civilian use for this only first.

But yes It would be good use in the military

[sfbuchmiller]

Awesome!
