For Just $285,000, You Can Have Your Jetpack

experience as Fusion Man , he ’s the Swiss Eval Knieval of the airwave , and yesterday he plunge to earth 7500 feet from an airplane at over 180 miles an hr , buoyed only by four jets strap to his back . But in reality , he ’s just a pilot make Yves Rossi who build the jet wings himself — to the tune of about$258,000 dollar . ( He had a little help from patron . ) Want to see it in full video natural action ?

Here ’s a video of the flight , with dreamy background medicine provided by our sister siteGizmodo . I would have done something a little more demise metal , but actually the pop make OK too . Says The Register about the commercial-grade potential of this jetpack :

Rossy ’s backpack jetwings wo n’t be hitting the shops soon , though . The only control or instruments are a throttle and an hearable altimeter – the offstage is steered using the consistency , and fall in his long chronicle of crackups this plainly is n’t leisurely even for Rossy . A flameproof cause is necessary to avoid branch burning from the jet-propelled plane fumes , too . The only room of launching is to jump from a ( large ) height . Landing is by folding the wings and parachuting down – yet more skills to be control . ( The latest offstage has its own landing chute which deploys if it has to be jettison , which should ease the future development track somewhat ) .

The primary software would seem to be stunts like yesterday ’s – or perhaps for certain extremely unusual / barmy particular - personnel missionary post . Spelco , a military parachute company in Germany , is working on its “ Gryphon ” backpack deltaplane – an easier to operate , low - radar - signature tune , long - stray edition of Rossy ’s concept .

Next , Rossy claims , he ’ll zoom 22 miles across the English Channel . Top persona by Stephanie Thomet , via The Register .
