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.

Wow, what a feeling that must have been. I hope it’s not much longer before people commute to work on jet packs.
