Yves Rossy can reach speeds of up
to 300 kilometres per hour with
his self-built jet pack. This flying
machine is composed of four
small-scale jet engines mounted
to a carbon-fibre wing and, once
airborne, is steered entirely through
Rossy’s bodily movements. The
futuristic flight-suit has already
propelled the former Swiss Air
Force pilot across both the English
Channel and the Grand Canyon.
Particularly impressive, however,
was a recent formation flight over
Dubai with an Airbus A380
(previous pages) – at an astonishing
altitude of more than 1200 metres.
