Yves Rossy yesterday jumped out of a small plane with his custom wing strapped to his back, then throttled up and flew over the Swiss Alps.
Rossy was able to top 186 miles-per-hour, which enabled him to maintain altitude and even fly. His wing is powered by two jet engines of the type used to power large model aircraft and has no movable controls, meaning he steers it entirely by moving his body. He has been revising the design of the wing for years, but yesterday's flight was its first public demonstration
His website is in the title.
