Yves Rossy – Icarus Redux


September 26th, 2008


By GadgetManiac


Yves Rossy aka FusionMan flung himself out of an airplane over France today, ignited his jet pack and flew to England. Flight time – 15 minutes.

Rossy used ACT carbon fiber wings (not too far removed from the wax wings used by Icarus) powered by 4 JetCat P-200 turbine engines.

…nice accomplishment, but a consequence might be to impair the Icarus mythology industry.
