Jetman

" The future of human flight is clear - completely autonomous like a bird. The real dream is to be completely free. Completely free." Yves Rossy (a.k.a. Jetman).



Yves Rossy's dream of becoming completely free in air has taken him to the heights of daredevil fame known as Jetman. He developed and built a wing-suit system comprising a backpack equipped with semi-rigid aeroplane-type carbon-fiber wings—with a span of about 2.4 metres (7.9 ft)—powered by four Jet-Cat P200 jet engines, modified from large kerosene-fueled model aircraft engines. (Ref: Wikipedia)

The system allow him to fly like an aircraft only that he use body mass to control the flight. Just like superman does. 



When I saw Jetman way back in 2009, I was astonished. It reminded me of the jet packs in GTA San Andreas. A wing with four jet engines mounted on carbon fiber wing. And instead of fuselage, there is a man. Amazing!

Me doing my graduate studies, wondered how he can pull this off. I mean it's definitely not like the one in GTA, where you have to take off like a rocket. And I thought maybe he invented new engines with some advanced complex chemical substance as its fuel. If it was just an RC model jet engine, others could have done it long time ago. 

The truth is, it was indeed an RC model jet engine. RC model jet engines are used in Remote Control (RC) jet model aircraft.


This aircrafts are very fast being powered by a miniature jet engine. Kerosene is being used a fuel. With RC plane flyers, flying a jet powered model is the ultimate dream. Check this video out to see how fast an RC jet engine really is :


Anyway, Jetman uses 4 of these. He didn't actually develop the system, it's a modified engine from Jet Cat (a leader in RC plane jet powered engine). 

The wings are specially designed to have maximum aerodynamic efficency while keeping the weight to strength ratio low. Carbon fiber is used for the wings.

After being fighter pilot and later an airline pilot, Yves wanted to take flying to next level. 

And he did. God bless, he did. 

It's one thing to develop and build. It's another thing to fly. 

 Without the clearance from authority he cannot fly. Yves system was licensed as an aircraft by FAA in 2011.

His recent flying with Emirates A380 is mindblowing:


Thank You Mr.Yves Ross for this awesome video!

Go behind the scenes : 



Yves Ross and his trianee did a flight over Dubai:


I also found him racing in Top Gear:


Watch this TED talk where he explains his system:


I wonder if there will be a time where we can buy these, strap it and just fly.  

Yves does this to push the boundaries of flight. It is a risk. But that should not keep anyone from exploring the possibilities. To achieve your dream. 

"If you have an idea or a dream , even if it's crazy, you should try it." - Yves Rossy.

Thank You for reading guys.

  2. Wow! Imagine being in his plase... I just wonder how does it feel to fly side by side with a real size passenger jet! My skin got goosebumps just from the thought of that! :) For now, I will stick to RC Planes, thank you :) And for those who are not aware how cool this hobby is (ok, not as cool as the jetman's hobby) here is what you need to find out http://mydronelab.com/blog/flying-rc-planes.html and who knows, you might get a pair of jetman's wings on your back one day :)

  5. The use of technology is becoming pervasive, both in the home and in the workplace. Because of this, technological expectations within the educational setting are increasing. Many of the students we see are being raised without knowing what it is like to be without computer access. Factors such as the wealth of information on the "Web" as well as presentation software products like PowerPoint are all transforming the educational system. Teachers are gaining proficiency in computer skills and demands by students and parents have made these new skills imperative. Planning for the needed training, the monetary investment, and for the specific methods of integrating technology into the established educational system is necessary to make the most of those technologies. cheap video editor for windows
