In front of the lens of international reporters, Mr. Yves Rossy was built by Swiss light aircraft Pilatus Porter to a height of about 3,000m.

From this height, Yves Rossy leaped into space, free-falling a paragraph before he held out two artificial wings longer than 2 meters, tied tightly to his back and glided 8 times, one of which shot up. higher than the Swiss Alps.

Upon landing, Yves Rossy turned off the engine and turned on the button, landing on the airport near Lake Geneva, gently in the cheering applause of thousands of people standing in the middle of the Alps to watch the flight.

According to Yves Rossy, this flight has been a great success, though he has not yet performed all his skills.

The whole flight this time lasts 5 minutes. Mr. Yves Rossy said after this flight he will prepare for a flight across the Mang-Bien sea between England and France.

On his two artificial wings, Yves Rossy installed four small jet engines designed and manufactured by German experts. These engines allow him to fly at speeds of more than 200 km / hour.

In the course of Yves Rossy flying in space, another plane always flies beside him to measure velocity. Yves Rossy used to be a fighter pilot.

He had long dreamed of flying by his artificial wings every day. In order to successfully perform this flight, Yves Rossy had to practice for 5 years.

Yves Rossy said that in the process of flying, he was absolutely not overly stressed, the wind speed did not make him uncomfortable, but only similar to the wind resistance when people ride motorcycles.

Yves Rossy had to wear insulated clothes like the clothes of firefighters or motorists to keep him unaffected by the heat of the four engines mounted on the wings. Wind and altitude also contributed to Yves Rossy not getting too hot.

However, the hardest thing to do is to keep the human body in balance, otherwise it will create unintended sway, even dangerous. In order to avoid danger when the engine malfunctions, Yves Rossy's hands always have an emergency parachute button.

Yves Rossy had to spend more than $ 285,000 to make a successful flight with these artificial wings and did not know how much time to build the wing. Thankfully for him, the money was funded by Swiss watchmaker Hublot.
