It’s a bird. It's a plane. No, it’s Jet-man! - a.k.a. Yves Rossy, former Swiss army pilot, currently Swiss airline pilot, and inventor who developed a working model of a personal winged jetpack. Jet-man jumped from a small plane over the Swiss Alps, opened his foldable wings, and propelled by four small jet engines, flew six and a half minutes til he ran out of fuel, opened his parachute, and landed successfully.
Glenn Martin has recently showcased his unique jet pack during AirVenture Oshkosh 2008, the annual aviation convention of the Experimental Aircraft Association in east-central Wisconsin. The demonstrator of the Martin jet pack was Martin’s own son, Harrison, who showcased the gadget’s “flying” capability for about 45 seconds.
