Jetman soars over Rio de Janeiro skyline
Yves 'Jetman' Rossy continues to push the boundaries of aviation - this time, by successfully completing a flight under a sunny sky over the city of Rio de Janeiro. Yves Rossy, the only person to fly with a rigid wing equipped with four jet engines, dropped from a helicopter over Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, where he stabilised the wing and headed full throttle north to circumvent Corcovado. He then tracked south of the city to fly alongside Ipanema, Copacabana, and Sugar Loaf Mountain, before pulling his parachute and safely landing on the infamous Copacabana beach.

Flying in a new location isn't exactly "pushing the boundaries".

i don't find this contraption impressive in the slightest. after watching the guys with wingsuits buzz the ground, this thing is totally lame. now when he takes off, on his own, from the ground, THEN it might be something.

@7ShadesofSunday *derp*
Maybe what he does is expensive and sponsors help fund it?

@dinglbat Isn't it crazy how far gone some people? This guy invents, and builds, a jet wing you can strap to your body and fly with. It's amazing.
And some idiot socialist cries that he had the nerve to try and make money from it, or use sponsors to cover the cost.
F'n idiot...
