Four jet engines give Yves Rossy a big boost when he jumps out of a plane with strap-on wings.
Yves Rossy from Switzerland has become the first person to gain altitude and maintain horizontal flight with strap-on wings thanks to a jetpack that would make James Bond jealous.
The former professional military pilot, now an Airbus pilot for a Swiss airline, takes to the skies with a set of motorised wings and has earned himself the name Jet-man.
Benet Allen reports.
