I can tell you that those two are setting new bars for flying skills. I have that flight mode on my to do list. Just need to save a little money.
I don’t think I shared with you that I started hang gliding in 1972 at the beach near Los Angeles International Airport. I went on to core thermals and gain 1000s of feet in altitude in the Southern CA skies.
I flew Torrey Pines in 1974 – a 600 foot sheer cliff over the ocean. I soared at Pismo Beach in central CA in perfectly laminar flow air.
There is nothing to compare with flying a hang glider or a paraglider.
I imagine you have seen the flight suit fliers. They have no engine and just jump off mountains and after losing altitude thay parachute down. One fellow flew into a lake and landed on his belly. Definitely the latest daredevils.
I like the Dubai pair because of their power packs.
I am getting much closer to visiting Sydney.
BTW If you want to start a whole new venture let’s start up a package delivery service like roadie.com! Only for airline passengers to make money carrying legal boxes for us. It costs $600 to send a suitcase to LAX. We could pay $100 for the service and make a killing.

That is very cool. I alos liked the scene from The Martian where he used a hole in his glove to create an Iron Man flying glove in space.
I did wonder how they take off and land so I watched the follow up video which shows that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZRp6iRjnhQ
So they cover takeoff where they jet pack drops from a helicopter but not landing. From others videos it looks like landing is via parachute. And a 10 minute fuel capacity means you can have quite a bit of time to have fun. Yves Rossy really is a flying man in all senses of the phrase.
As an engineer who develops electronics based products I found the degree of control the jet pack gives the pilot and the process they describe for developing to that point to be a great example of how really good products are designed and developed.
Thanks for sharing

I was so inspired I did some more digging into the technology behind the flying jet pack and added that to our blog.
