Airplane Man: A breathtaking flight over Dubai
Yves Rossi and Vince Reffet love to fly, but not on a plane. These two inventive athletes from the Jetman Dubai team prefer to transform themselves into airplanes using wing jetpacks they have designed themselves. The average flight speed of such "jetpacks" is 200 km / h, and the duration is up to 13 minutes. The fearless professional pilot Rossi from Switzerland is an innovator in the field of human flight. These photos and videos show how much he and his protégé Vince Reffet have achieved over the years.

1. “I really believe that flying is part of my DNA. Even as a pilot who has flown military and civil aircraft, I have always dreamed of flying freely in the open sky, because this is the only way to feel truly free,” says Ives Rossi.
2. “I want to make real what people only dream of, and I believe that Dubai provides the right environment and infrastructure to achieve this.”
3. “Flying alone is amazing, but being able to control your flight is even better. To have the opportunity to learn from the first person in the world to fly on jet powered wings is an honor for me. I was lucky to learn from Yves, and together we dream of climbing even higher,” says Vince Reffet.
