Jetman

Vimeo Description:

The ultimate dream of flight - soaring through the air, with total freedom in all three dimensions, not within a heavy and complicated machine but with only one's body and sensations - a dream everybody had at least once in their life.

JETMAN made it real.

Test flights in Swiss airspace.

He's certainly not camera shy! =o)

I think this is the first video of the jetman I've watched in which you can actually tell just how much control he has in his flight. All the others always made it seems like it was just a controlled fall, without even being able to climb.

edit: I just realized something... This is it... it's human flight and we're watching it. It's not perfect obviously, since he can't take-off from or land on the ground, but it's still pretty damn good.
