Watch as Jetman Yves Rossy and his protege, Jetman Vince Reffet, take their crazy jetpacks to the skies of Dubai and tour the city like Superman would. It’s unbelievable every time I see them soar through the air like fighter jets, busting moves and tricks that only stunt planes dare to try. Except they’re not in a plane and they aren’t Superman, they’re humans with jetpacks strapped to their backs.

They’ve come a long way since I watched one in 1965 in the Astrodome.

And I thought my gang was pretty cool making a parasail out of a surplus parachute and a swings set seat and towing it behind a boat on the Mississippi.

I want to see him swoop down, grab a fish with his toes, then land on top of a telephone pole.

Spectacular and Fascinating!
Couple questions?
How long do they stay in the air on an average?
What speeds do they reach as they seem to be flying very fast?
And what is the slowest they fly ?

Don’the know, it used to be 45 secs of boost, but the guy has been improving these things for years.

I am sure it is about the money, look at all the shiny new gear.

I’d say “props,” but they’re jet powered.
I’m a fan, no less; the wing-pack concept has definitely taken the adventure of human flight to an entirely new level of freedom, with a smaller form factor yet maximized control.
Truly excelsior!

Can you imagine what a terrorist could do with those things?
