Unbelievable Rocket Man

May 15th, 2008 Posted By Bash.

A 48-year-old Swiss man has successfully jumped out of a plane over the Alps using a new improved version of his jet propelled hang-glider.

Yves Rossy has spent five years training for the event and was helped by four jet engines

    I can’t help but to think about the military applications. Can you say no more HALO jumps, now you could just jump out of a plane and fly into the LZ. I’m sure SF will be getting these soon, if they don’t have them now.

    How long could he hold onto a special 100# JDAM :)

    that is pretty damn incredible!

    could you imagine the rush he got while flying through the air. it would be the difference between riding a motorcycle and a car. just a fighter jet with nothing but the engines

    Cool :mrgreen: I think the SEALS would LOVE this, and I know thrill seakers would love it also.
