Jetman Yves Rossy flys with a DC-3 as Breitling Passengers Observe - Luxurious Magazine

The closest thing to a real life Iron Man comic character Jetman Yves Rossy offered Breitling guests on a DC-3 a close up view of what he does best.

Reminiscent of the famous superman scene, Yves "Jetman" Rossy has flown in close formation, with the Breitling Douglas DC-3, vintage aircraft. Giving the passengers onboard the unique experience to see the world's first jet powered man in full flight.

As the guests boarded the 1940's, twin propeller aircraft and took to their seats; Yves Rossy prepared his rigid carbon Kevlar wing equipped with 4 Jet engines and positioned himself on the skid of an Eagle AS 350 helicopter. The DC-3 took a holding position above Lake Lucerne, at the heart of Switzerland, as Yves climbed to 6000 feet. Yves began his fall backwards from the helicopter, stabilized the wing and engaged all four engines to full throttle reaching a speed of 205 km/h and an altitude of 4500 feet before he joined the DC-3 using just his shoulders, body and legs to steer.

The flight lasted 7 minutes, before the Jetwing exhausted its fuel supply and Yves pulled his parachutes to land safely back at Buochs airport.

Aviation pioneer, Yves Rossy continually pushes the boundaries of personal flight, and this latest feat adds to the impressive list of Jetman accomplishments including: Flying over Rio de Janeiro, Grand Canyon West and the English Channel and flying in formation with the Breitling Jet Team and Breitling Wingwalkers.

Breitling, the privileged partner of aviation has supported the Jetman project since 2011 and looks forward to many more exciting developments.

Why is this video even disliked? I bet the dislikers aren't even be able to fly that shit..

[luketorpedo]

I wonder how this got even a single dislike. Then again, seeing the level of comment trolling here, I guess its understandable. Some people really are just dried up husks of what was once a human soul.

Missed your flight ? No worries, just use the jetman suit to catch the plane!

First thought:ironman

Second thought:would be a good improvement to actually do a self launch.
