As if you were n’t green-eyed enough of Yves Rossy , new footage has just been released of the Swiss Pilot , inventor and “ air power enthusiast ” ( who also snuff it by the not - so - subtle cognomen of “ JETMAN ” ) hang glide free as a rocket - powered bird richly above the Swiss Alps .
His wings : an eight - foot - wide , carbon - fibre annexe of his own innovation . His propulsion system : kerosene - fueled jet turbines . His air pep pill : almost 200 miles - per - hr . His heart : unique .
You hear that ? you may not touch on Yves Rossy . Do n’t even attempt . [ Via Evert Cloetens ]
