In 2015, Rossy did a no less impressive endeavor by jumping out of an airplane in an older version of the jetsuit and flew with an Emirates A360 airplane

Yves Rossy, a daredevil and a jet wing pilot, has just made public a video recording him, in his jetsuit, took off the ground and hovered on a Geneva lake in Switzerland.
The video shows how this kind of technology has developed. Now, the pilot does not need to jump from a high altitude for the suit to get to the desired speed anymore.
Rossy called himself Jetman and with his wingsuit, he could fly at a speed of over 350 km/h, up to 6,000 meters off the ground, as stated by the description of the video.
Before this revamped wingsuit, no Rossy’s prototype has been able to take off straight from the ground. Starting from way up in the air is inconvenient but once Rossy was up there, there seems to be nothing he could not do, soaring, climbing and diving like a real bird.
The Jetcat P550 turbine engines allow Rossy to take off straight upward at the maximum speed of 180 km/h, according to what an official website says. The nozzles of the jet engines share the same principles with rockets of SpaceX, which explains why Rossy can take off vertically in this wingsuit.
The video shows Rossy hovering above the water surface and control the whole thing using only his gloves.
Back in 2015, Rossy did a no less impressive endeavor by jumping out of an airplane in an older version of the jetsuit and flew with an Emirates A360 airplane.
His jet-powered jetsuit proves that soon, we will see more of these wingsuits taking off and flying like an eagle alongside airplanes. And who knows, one day they might be available for commercial use.
