Awesome...

flying Jetman!

Yves Rossy has achieved his dream of human powered flight and this was one of his best ones.
He has done pioneering work and the technology he applies is just mind boggling, from cutting edge composites for the wing to ultra lightweight turbine engines for thrust and the control systems. Truly a modern marvel of technology and mind.
Once again proving that nothing is impossible once you set your mind to the task. Although one wold think he has nerves of steel this is what he said the day before when he called off the flight...
"I have a knot in my body, sorry for that. I’m human."
