Yves Rossy has invented something we had dreamed of. He has given wings to life. PErhaps he is the only one to have experienced this.
It is a 4-engine jet suit with wings to his back, which he starts up after jumping out of a helicopter or plane.
There are no steering controls. He uses his body to steer!!
Traveling at speeds of up to 190 miles per hour and a height of 3,000 meters, the aircraft can stay in the air for about 10 minutes, which was enough time for Rossy to cross the English Channel. He also recently flew above the Grand Canyon.
The device isn’t quite ready for mass consumption, however. Rossy, who served as both a commercial and military pilot earlier in his life, has had to use the wing’s escape parachute about 20 times — sometimes after becoming disoriented in the clouds, others after more than one of the engines fails.
