Jetman Suit:"Fly like Iron Man."
Inventor and former Swiss Air Force fighter pilot, Yves Rossy, jumped from a plane over Calais, France and flew 200 mph crossing the English Channel in 13 minutes before landing in Dover, England.Earlier this year he also unfolded the wings on his back and flew 186 mph (300 kilometers) above the Swiss Alps.The flight over the English Channel was his second public demonstration.
And now Yves Rossy has recently completed his flight over the Grand Canyon. He jumped out of a helicopter at 2,440 metres (8,000 feet) and soared over the Canyon at 330 km (205 mph) for eight minutes before deploying his parachute.
The original structure of his invention uses four small jet engines attached to a pair of carbon wings.He took five years in developing and perfecting his invention.
The inventor says his 120 lb Jetman suit will eventually be available to the public but it's still a few years away.
