LOOP News 5 APR 07: JET MAN'S BLACK!REMEMBER Jet Man? [LOOP, Feb07] Well he's back with a new name and in the colour black. Yves Rossy, the daredevil who has trained himself to jump from an aircraft, spread his wings, ignite jet engines attached to the wings and fly like a bird until his fuel runs out, is now calling himself 'Fusion Man'. Fusion Man was due to make his unveiling flight to the world's press in Geneva last month but was prevented by poor weather. However, these pictures have been released to LOOP showing Yves training above Empuriabrava on the Costa Brava, Spain. A close up of the wing shows how close the four jet engines are to his body. Over the next three years, Fusion Man is planning many attempts at 'first', including a launch from a hot air balloon, an overflight of the Grand Canyon, a take-off from the ground, formation flight and the first aerobatic figures. Fusion Man next public date is at the International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva, on 18-22 April. W: www.jet-man.com |                     | ||||||
