Airplane Man: A Dizzying Flight Over Dubai (3 photos + 1 video)
Yves Rossi and Vince Reffet love to fly, but not in a plane. These two inventor-athletes from the Jetman Dubai team prefer to transform themselves into planes using jetpack-wings they developed themselves. These "jetpacks" have an average flight speed of 200 km/h and a flight time of up to 13 minutes. A fearless professional pilot from Switzerland, Rossi is a pioneer in the field of human flight. These photos and videos show the successes he and his protégé, Vince Reffet, have achieved over the years.

1. "I truly believe that flying is part of my DNA. Even as a pilot, flying both military and civilian aircraft, I always dreamed of flying freely in the open skies, because that's the only way to truly feel free," says Yves Rossi.
2. "I want to make real what people only dream of, and I believe Dubai provides the right environment and infrastructure to achieve this."
3. "Flying solo is amazing, but being able to control your flight is even better. Having the opportunity to learn from the first person in the world to fly on jet-powered wings is an honor. I'm lucky to be studying with Ives, and together we dream of going even higher," says Vince Reffet.
