Yves Rossy is Jet Man

If you’ve ever wanted to see personal jet transportation, here’s your chance. SwissAir pilot Yves Rossy has crafted a light weight composite wing and attached two small jet engines to it. Rossy becomes the fuselage after, get this, jumping out of an airplane with the rig on. You really have to see it to believe it – and it looks phenomenally dangerous, and might I say, way fun.

He’s got up to 4 minutes of power and then folds the wings up and parachutes back to earth. The vehicle/man combo has achieved speeds up to 100 knots.
