Real-life Fusion Man/Rocketman flying above Alps Yves Rossy speeds through the air with wings and rockets on his back in Bex, Switzerland.
Yves Rossy is the world's first man to fly with jet fuel-powered wings
He demonstrated his flight talent in Bex, Switzerland
His jet turbines enabled him to achieve a speed of 186 mph
He uses only his body to change position in the air.

Years ago, aviation enthusiast and inventor Yves Rossy dreamed of soaring through the sky like a bird.
In 2006 that dream took flight.

Known as Switzerland's "Fusion Man," Rossy in November 2006 became the first man in the world to fly with wings and four jet engines strapped to his body; on Wednesday he displayed that talent to the world.

The inaugural flight lasted six minutes in Bex, Switzerland, and included an emergency parachute programmed to automatically open if he were to black out, NBC11 reported at the time.
"The idea is to have fun, not to kill yourself," Rossy said in the story.
Rossy wears a white helmet with the words "Jet-Man" on the front, dives out of a plane, fires up his wings and propels through the atmosphere, leaving a trail of special-effects white smoke in his wake.
