www.jetman.ch latest news on Yves Rossy’s official site! Follow his channel www.youtube.com The Jet Man, Yves Rossy, a former Swiss military pilot, designed and built a deployable 3-meter wing, holding kerosene fuel for 2 jet engines (as of May 2008 FOUR turbines on a 2.5m wing!!) fixed to the tips and attached it to his back. Rossy launched from an airplane and flew for 4 minutes, traveling over 100 mph, landing by parachute. www.jet-man.com OK here’s my attempt at translation (if you can, please correct!): 00:16 (VIDEO START) 00:20 (German) Further, further away from the car 00:22 Yes 00:24 (French) Towards the drain 00:25 There? 00:26 Yep 00:33 (‘SCOTLAND THE BRAVE’ RINGTONE) 00:48 So, the idea is, as we see here, there’s the fuel, the smoke cartridges, and the jet engines underneath, for horizontal flight. 01:00 In fact, the Flying Jet Man, that’s the idea. And to do that we’ve developed this folding wing, taking into account the space available in the plane, because we don’t have much space. A wing of 3 meters would not fit in the plane without being folding. 01:19 It’s nearly a mini-airplane, except that, well, I’m the fuselage. So there’s fuel, batteries, gas for starting the jet engines, oil is in the kerosene for lubricating the engine. I have a little handle for moving the ailerons so I can go up and down, so I’ve got all the controls just like a plane, and like I said I’m the fuselage with two jet engines up my backside! 01:56 The goal – horizontal flight …
