Jetman’s latest videos!

‘Jetman’ flies over Rio using super-cool jetpack

Spectacular video: 'Jetman' soars over Rio de Janeiro skyline



This may look like a test shot for "The Incredibles," but Yves "Jetman" Rossy dreamed of flying long before Syndrome invented rocket boots. The 52-year-old Swiss pilot's 11-minute flight yesterday over Rio de Janeiro began with a terrifying-looking helicopter drop, after which he circled around the Christ the Redeemer statue and ended with a (somewhat) gentle landing onto Copacabana beach, where it looks like he just missed his target. Rossy is proving to be one super-hot advertising campaign for watchmaker Breitling, whose logo is plastered all over the Jetman's equipment.

Jetman Yves Rossy flies with the Breitling Jet Team over the Grand Canyon



Another top-flight feat makes aviation history. After crossing the Channel, flying alongside two Boeing Stearman biplanes carrying the Breitling Wingwalkers, looping the loop around a hot-air balloon and hurtling across the sky over the Grand Canyon, Yves "Jetman" Rossy has shifted up yet another gear with a formation flight alongside two jets from the Breitling Jet Team.

The world's first jet-powered man jumped off a helicopter with his rigid wing equipped with four jet engines. Adjusting his trajectory and altitude by his body movements alone, he then performed aerobatic figures above the Swiss Alps in the company of two L-39C Albatros planes from the Breitling Jet Team, the world's largest professional civilian aerobatics team performing on jets.

A stunning show -- and a major new accomplishment supported by Breitling, the privileged partner of worldwide aviation.

Amazing Video: 'Jet Man' stunts alongside fighter jets over Alps



Amazing pictures from Switzerland show where "jetman" Yves Rossy gave this incredible flying display, using a tailor-made jet pack. The aviation enthusiast leapt from a helicopter and performed a series of aerial acrobatics above the Alps. He then joined two jet planes in a synchronized flight. To synchronise their flight paths the jets reduced their speed to 220 kilometres per hour (137 miles per hour), which put their engines at a point close to stalling. Rossy's previous aerial feats include flying the English Channel and looping the loop around a hot-air balloon.

Yves Rossy: Fly with the Jetman



http://www.ted.com Strapped to a jet-powered wing, Yves Rossy is the Jetman -- flying free, his body as the rudder, above the Swiss Alps and the Grand Canyon. After a powerful short film shows how it works, Rossy takes the TEDGlobal stage to share the experience and thrill of flying.

Jetman Flight at Grand Canyon West




In May 2011, Jetman achieved a beautiful and memorable flight in the Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA... and here's the official souvenir video! Many thanks to all who were involved in that adventure!

To infinity and beyond




Daredevil Swiss pilot Yves "Fusionman" Rossy shows off his birdman skills. His new book "Yves Rossy: homme volant" (flying man), recounts his flying exploits over the past ten years. Simon Bradley reports.

Jet propelled skydiving wing!

On June 24th, 2004 Yves Rossy drops out of the Pilatus airplane at an altitude of 4000m over the Yverdon airfield. Before pulling on the little lever that controls the opening of his wings, Yves lets himself glide for a couple seconds and at the altitude of 2500m, he starts the ignition of the engines and waits 30 seconds for them to be able to stabilize. Once they are steady, he can finally speed up the engines and suddenly the dream comes true. He manages a horizontal flight at 1600m from the ground for more than 4 minutes, at a speed of 100 knots in formation with the Pilatus airplane.
