Can you believe this crazy Swiss fellow!?! Four microjets pushed him four minutes at up to 115 mph riding under a flimsy little backpack wing.
Click the image below to see him in action:
- 4 miniature jet engines mounted under the wing
- Current deployment from free fall jump out of an aircraft, though land take-off is planned soon
- Steering takes place through body movements
- The only control is engine speed
- The only instrument is an acoustic altimeter
- The flight ends with the deployment of a parachute
Just call him "Fusion Man". And, yes, he is a former fighter jock.
Trying to evade the killer propeller...
