Technology: Carbon Fiber Jet Wing Lets ‘Jetman’ Fly In Formation With a Boeing B-17 Bomber (Video)

DaVinci. The Wright Brothers. And now…‘Jetman’ Yves Rossy shows us that man was meant to fly… all it takes is a dream, the vision, relentless work at design, and awesome tech! Check out what, in effect, is one giant step closer to pure human flight. The tech is his Carbon Fiber Jet Wing; and it is AMAZING!

And if you think the view from the ground during one of Yves’ flights is impressive, think about what the guys flying the planes are witnessing (like ‘how is he doing that without a plane?’).

“The perspective of seeing a guy off your wing, with a wing on his back — there’s just nothing to prepare you for it. I don’t think any of us expected the maneuverability he had.”

– George Daubner, B-17 Pilot

Check out the incredible footage above! Shout out to my cousin Joe (love you man!) for shooting me the Wired piece on this.
