@Up-a-Creek You can't have everything. And my comment goes to the rare creative breathing room, artistically, in comparison to the channel's surrounding media that are brute and obvious and insistent and filled with cliches.
This guy is amazing at balancing his weight(+ the weight of jetpack). The landing from hovering was very gentle. And the takeoff is also well controlled. This video is very inspirational. _edit: RIP, Vince Reffet. Such an amazing athlete losing his life in training is quite sad. He has inspired many, but his story is not just about inspiration but also about being careful and always knowing that an accidental death can happen even to one of the best at the sport._
It just came to me and I clicked and it's changed my life. The "flying car" is here. So simple yet it does it all. If you had one you could literally fly like Superman when you want to go somewhere. Not only a dream come true but the ultimate dream come true. Thumbs up! And fuck the cunts who gave it thumbs down.
James Memphis King dude my comment was it wasn’t an attempt, this happened. Look up what attempt means, you know to try something, this was done successfully ;) regardless of whos flying it. Now again, do you remember seeing Yves flying this in the alps ??? Its fukin amazing how its flown!
@@jimbax1 Bruh it's not controlled remotely. They mean first time being controlled "from the ground" as in from VTOL takeoff up to altitude...that's what the entire demonstration is about. These wings are only controlled with subtle body movements the same way traditional wingsuits are. You can read the detailed report on the Jetman website or just do some research on who Vince is and the history of this project. Some engineer checking the wing on the ground doesn't mean its controlled like a drone. XD
RIP JETMAN! You actually accomplished what normally we can only dream. Unfortunatly Someone always must pay with their lives when pioneers create new amazing technology in the air. May you be flying forever now. Rest in peace...
Imagine a larger carbon fiber hang glider like wing & suit that can glide in & land upon engine/turbine failure. With fuel tank & single jet engine. That can cruise at around 120mph. With 200+ mile range if possible. The pilot takes off by powering the thrusters & doing a running lift off, similar to a hang glider. Upon landing the pilot can quickly get in & out of the suit & fly back home.
RIP Vince! You will never be forgotten, you made history as the first human to truly fly and history never forgets. Everything hereafter is thanks to you legend
When he took off into the sky, I was like nuts, I have never seen anything like that, hope this would be affordable in the near future, I want to fly one to work
@@GeeDeeDee well let's assume it gets into the public domain, don't you think all possible modifications would be made to make it possible for the average Joe to fly it
This is absolutely unbelievable. I can’t believe they actually were able to make these wings do a vertical takeoff… that’s something I never thought they would be able to do and now they’ve actually done it.
@LazicStefan i bet it was ardiuno or raspberry pi and a regular gyro. could be even simpler than that and just use a UAV flight board. with a pid loop alread there it would just be plug and play. i know some have vtol to horizontal transition which would make sense because he would have very little aerodynamic control at first with his limbs. till he got going very fast. my guess is they used both some kind of vectored thrust in combination with body control.
At first minutes "oh yeah, just hovering around in short distance safe with water below him, nothing fancy, just testing the prototype I think-" *starts to take off with incredible speed above skyscrapers, doing manuvers* "Holy shi-”
@@curtizjamezjackson111 there was officially 3 jetman...

He was the modern "icar" and a really good and inspiration guy 🙏 😔
Am I the only one who wants to talk about how breath taking this is... I've always seen videos of the Jetman jumping out of Helo's then flying. Not a ground take off hovering like Iron man. That blew my mind... I didn't know what was next. The second take off from hover to actual flight really gave me chills. Straight up pulled a vertical to the heavens! I could only imagine what was going through his head. I one day wish to fly like that.

Still remains so much better than any other jet pack or jet propelled personal craft on the market. Have a feeling this thing will go down in history as the Ferrari of jetpacks
They can most likely easily make his jet pack but probally a little oversized, It would mainly be used as a boost pack to take a huge jump and land somewhat softly but not fly with it, maybe hover for a few seconds while you leap off
The key to a great life is never losing that childhood spirit of eagerness and adventure. We should not let the rest of society drain that spirit out of us.

I was like...ok, this is boring. When is someone going to make something that actually flys instead of just hovering. Nek minnit....'holy shitballs!!!!'
Everyone who lives dies, but how many truly live. And how many advance and industry and inspire millions while living their dreams? Vince did it all. Condolences, for the world mourns the loss of someone great today.
I gasped in awe. I frequently have dreams of flying and i remember one specific where i reached a speed and altitude like this and feel amazing but when i tried to go down i was scared to the bone because i couldn't control going down without smashing myself on the ground. Then i panicked and because of the emotion i woke up. It was pretty amazing and terrifying. I just cannot imagine what felt this man. Amazing!!!
AmericanPatriot No! This is nothing. The ones that will be really truly lucky are the people alive when the solve the aging problem so we humans don’t have to die!
@@GuitarristaDesconosido theoretically if you would live forever it is likely that you would find it boring sooner or later. also the limits in our reality set by the "creator, gods, aliens, universe " whatever you wanna call that unknown law or entity allow us to enjoy things like flying, driving around, walking through the Forrest etc. If human could approach the infinity there would be no sense in the existence at all in my opinion. like if you could be on infinite amount of places at the same time.. (its a bit hard to discuss this matter in English for me) however i would not mind to live 300 years for example, under condition that humankind would not want destroy them self by our own ignorance sooner :)..
Watch that guy in Germany, trying to parachute in 1912. It's pretty sad. By the 80's, I had toys that you could shoot up, and they would parachute down.
dusshan1 I don’t think it would be possible for highly intelligent individual like me to get bored. There is an infinite amount of knowledge to learn and discover still for humanity. Take me for example 20 years ago I didn’t know how to read or write, I was basically an ignorant guy kid. But in the year 2000 I decided to change that, so I spent $1,200 on a computer. I used it to learn how to read and write, once I learned how to read I started studying mathematics, physics,history, philosophy,and computer science and much much more subjects. I now know more in some subjects, than the great majority of so-called professors from the best universities like Stanford or MIT. For many years I studied for 6 to 8 hours per day, and I am also an artist I can draw just as good as Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni or Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino. And I can tell you I truly understand the words of Isaac Newton whe he said “” I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”” So I am sure It would be absolutely impossible for me to get bored. Hopefully gerontologist may have some success soon so we can keep on enjoy playing like Newton. Who ever you are best wishes and regards 🙂
When he shot up high, I was thinking, he's crazy going that high without a parachute what if there's a mechanical problem, and then puff there's a parachute.
C Smith I was thinking that too because the balance isn’t like a plane. But maybe if he already had speed. Either way, a parachute is best bet and idk why I didn’t think that before anything else
This rig has always been based around a parachute. Until he recently got enough power to hover, the only way to launch was to skydive, and the only way to land was under canopy. This is interesting, but takeoff and landing requires so much fuel...and fuel management. Can only carry a bit of fuel...how do you want to spend it?
@@BrianVillegas67 They need to try some mid air refueling from a Cessna or other small plane with a refueling probe mounted in his wing. It would really extend the range.
@@rommeldude1 really, does infinite money can buy happiness for paralyze man? I'm grateful for what i have and that give me plenty of happiness, the real happiness is in Jannah is where infinite happiness exists.
Many years a go these men jumped from an airplane, this is really amazing the equipment and the learning avance, they can now take off from the floor, and make many manouvers then were impossible even think to do them. Great!!
This is always been my dream. After I got out of the Marine Corps I don't myself a nice little shop to do my tinkering with. I have two of the four turbines I need for my flying wingsuit. It's going to take time and patience to build the money up to complete my dream. Some people are blessed to have the monetary means to make their dreams come true and others have to do it segments. Like me. I get great inspiration watching these videos thank you for sharing you are video. Anthony Martinez retired USMC.
Take up skydiving, and you'll feel it. It's indescribably amazing... I've only jumped 125 times, have friends who've done thousands, nevertheless I had some unbelievable experiences and nothing I've ever done comes close. Give it a shot, you'll be a new person for it.
Look at images of what people imagined today to be like. Yes they had no way of knowing how today would be like, but a common theme is everyone and everything flying. It's taken us longer than we would have wished to get here, but now Humans can fly with personal propulsion units.
What an amazing dream come true. Sorry to see that someone wrote RIP Jetman. I didn't know and is a very incredible Loss. Saw them flying with those stunt Jets and that was incredible.
Try it bro, you can ride the highest speed train for the first time in Southeast Asia. The highest speed is 350 kilometers per hour, the Indonesian fast train Jakarta - Bandung, the newest, most sophisticated in Southeast Asia, the first,.the way to the beautiful and comfortable and beautiful and cool and cool city of Bandung, thank you sis and bro.°°
This is what we always saw in games and wished one day we could fly...the feeling is so awesome. By the way *Superman* would be jeleous after watching this.
He’s come so far, from only being able to jump out of airplanes, to taking off from anywhere with complete control, and going full rocket man. If there isn’t a military contract in there I would be very surprised!
@Mike Yep, Army was very interested until it was discovered how easy they were to pick off with as little munitions such as pistol shots, plus VERY limited range, next to useless for recon missions. Lotsa crap ideas are put before the military with dreams of the mythical unlimited budget- stupidest one was training dogs to sniff Asian/ Japanese personnel exclusively based on body odor while ignoring western body musk types, this actually happened during WWII.
@@32stevo Of course he does fly it. He is the one that controls it, starting from the ground using his body, instead of being dropped by an airplane as it was the case until now.
@@bibothor206 Hi Bibo. I've been a skydiver for 15 years and skydive on weekends and vacations and racked up 5000 jumps. You very easily make 5 or more skydives day when you're licensed and that's not even going all out. Vince, whom I've had the pleasure of skydiving with many times, has been doing this full-time since he was a teenager. So no, 17,000 is not even close to a stretch for a full-time pro.
Home is where it was made, not bought. That wing has been around for about a decade, and I bet the patents have expired. Here is a vid of it posted almost 9 years ago. They look like a lot of fun to me. th-cam.com/video/x2sT9KoII_M/w-d-xo.html

Bryn Stuart Jones ok your point is?..... everyone should be a lunatic for there to be technological progress? Silly take on things. Consumerism is still destroying the planet. Nothing wrong with riding horses. That’s what real men ride.
@@nsr5961 not everyone but at one time someone must be lunatic enough to open a bodie to study how the organs work, to inject someone with a weaker version of a virus to create the cure, crazy enough to ride a controled explosion... if was not the "lunatics" 90% of people would be dying at the age of 25 from deseases and living in a cave afraid of the outside world, at the lowest in the predatory chain, someone has to be the first to do something "crazy" or the human kind would be extinct thousands years ago. At least with "destroying the planet" we have a chance to survive. This world will be destroyed anyways from a galatic event someday, so why not for the good of humans.
Imagine the ecstasy of that man alone up there with total control of his independent flight capability... Imagine the euphoria! What rush of raw adrenaline and wonder! What a feeling of utter euphoria! I can only imagine it would be like what motorcycle riding is to motorcar driving, compared with what jetsuit flying is to jet airplane/helicopter flying. Independent, open vehicle with no vehicle body surrounding the occupant. The occupant just sits atop their vehicle, open to the air with only a helmet, boots, jacket, and gloves to protect them from.... The wind? Awesome tech, guys. Awesome display of human potential. I'm going back to watch again!
I'm pretty sure they could do the landing just fine but its fuel that becomes the issue. That takeoff burned a lot and probably didn't have enough to come back down, slow down, and land. The flying thing isn't the hard part, its the energy source. We can have iron man like the movies today if we had a miniature nuclear reactor to power the suit, but alas we're not there yet.
@@wopwops0482 You never want to intentionally stall, but since their thrusters are completely fixed, the only way to land would be to go vertical and dial back the power slowly to start a descent. Ideally you'd want to have pivoting thrusters that can act as brakes as that is more predictable than relying on gravity. There's definitely a lot of variables to consider if going for a landing with these things.
Going back vertical after the flight is not only an issue about the fuel. But this take off took years and years. Remember the first attempts of Yves Rossy. He is now going vertical too but you should listen to what he says about the difficulties that he's facing
It's a really rare treat to get true documentation like this without manipulative editing, "storytelling" gimmicks and gushy bad music. Well done, and congratulations.

I'm really excited when I watch it every time
I gasped in awe. I frequently have dreams of flying and i remember one specific where i reached a speed and altitude like this and feel amazing but when i tried to go down i was scared to the bone because i couldn't control going down without smashing myself on the ground. Then i panicked and because of the emotion i woke up. It was pretty amazing and terrifying. I just cannot imagine what felt this man. Amazing!!!
Aren't we lucky to be alive during this time in history to see this??
AmericanPatriot No! This is nothing.
The ones that will be really truly lucky are the people alive when the solve the aging problem so we humans don’t have to die!
@@GuitarristaDesconosido theoretically if you would live forever it is likely that you would find it boring sooner or later. also the limits in our reality set by the "creator, gods, aliens, universe " whatever you wanna call that unknown law or entity allow us to enjoy things like flying, driving around, walking through the Forrest etc. If human could approach the infinity there would be no sense in the existence at all in my opinion. like if you could be on infinite amount of places at the same time.. (its a bit hard to discuss this matter in English for me) however i would not mind to live 300 years for example, under condition that humankind would not want destroy them self by our own ignorance sooner :)..
Coronavirus will be nice and not kill all of us until we have a chance to fly this thing
Watch that guy in Germany, trying to parachute in 1912. It's pretty sad. By the 80's, I had toys that you could shoot up, and they would parachute down.
dusshan1 I don’t think it would be possible for highly intelligent individual like me to get bored.
There is an infinite amount of knowledge to learn and discover still for humanity.
Take me for example 20 years ago I didn’t know how to read or write, I was basically an ignorant guy kid.
But in the year 2000 I decided to change that, so I spent $1,200 on a computer.
I used it to learn how to read and write, once I learned how to read I started studying mathematics, physics,history, philosophy,and computer science and much much more subjects.
I now know more in some subjects, than the great majority of so-called professors from the best universities like Stanford or MIT.
For many years I studied for 6 to 8 hours per day, and I am also an artist I can draw just as good as Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni or Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino.
And I can tell you I truly understand the words of Isaac Newton whe he said “” I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.””
So I am sure It would be absolutely impossible for me to get bored.
Hopefully gerontologist may have some success soon so we can keep on enjoy playing like Newton.
Who ever you are best wishes and regards 🙂
Thank you Vince for sharing you time, courage and intense enthusiasm for life with us all. You will be missed. Rest In Paradise.
RIP Vince! what you did is incredible!
When he shot up high, I was thinking, he's crazy going that high without a parachute what if there's a mechanical problem, and then puff there's a parachute.
Same. It’s very well hidden. I didn’t even notice he had one and thought “hmm. I wonder if he can glide good if those engines cut out”
@@LtLXIX I think it would drop like a rock without power.
C Smith I was thinking that too because the balance isn’t like a plane. But maybe if he already had speed. Either way, a parachute is best bet and idk why I didn’t think that before anything else
This rig has always been based around a parachute. Until he recently got enough power to hover, the only way to launch was to skydive, and the only way to land was under canopy. This is interesting, but takeoff and landing requires so much fuel...and fuel management. Can only carry a bit of fuel...how do you want to spend it?
@@BrianVillegas67 They need to try some mid air refueling from a Cessna or other small plane with a refueling probe mounted in his wing. It would really extend the range.
“You can’t buy happiness.” Lies. Flying like that would make me happy.

This is what we always saw in games and wished one day we could fly...the feeling is so awesome. By the way *Superman* would be jeleous after watching this.
He’s come so far, from only being able to jump out of airplanes, to taking off from anywhere with complete control, and going full rocket man.
If there isn’t a military contract in there I would be very surprised!
@Mike Yep, Army was very interested until it was discovered how easy they were to pick off with as little munitions such as pistol shots, plus VERY limited range, next to useless for recon missions. Lotsa crap ideas are put before the military with dreams of the mythical unlimited budget- stupidest one was training dogs to sniff Asian/ Japanese personnel exclusively based on body odor while ignoring western body musk types, this actually happened during WWII.
They dropped the idea when the helicopter arrived on the scene.
hes not flying it though? description says its controlled from the ground so what makes it so special?
@@32stevo Of course he does fly it. He is the one that controls it, starting from the ground using his body, instead of being dropped by an airplane as it was the case until now.

You very easily make 5 or more skydives day when you're licensed and that's not even going all out. Vince, whom I've had the pleasure of skydiving with many times, has been doing this full-time since he was a teenager. So no, 17,000 is not even close to a stretch for a full-time pro.

Independent, open vehicle with no vehicle body surrounding the occupant. The occupant just sits atop their vehicle, open to the air with only a helmet, boots, jacket, and gloves to protect them from.... The wind?

Facts
Next step is to land without deploying the chute ! Awesome job Vince ! You're the Men !
I'm pretty sure they could do the landing just fine but its fuel that becomes the issue. That takeoff burned a lot and probably didn't have enough to come back down, slow down, and land. The flying thing isn't the hard part, its the energy source. We can have iron man like the movies today if we had a miniature nuclear reactor to power the suit, but alas we're not there yet.
@@Malinkadink Would he have to pull into a climb to get vertical and then stall?
@@wopwops0482 You never want to intentionally stall, but since their thrusters are completely fixed, the only way to land would be to go vertical and dial back the power slowly to start a descent. Ideally you'd want to have pivoting thrusters that can act as brakes as that is more predictable than relying on gravity. There's definitely a lot of variables to consider if going for a landing with these things.
He is Iron Man, Superman, or Buzz Lightyear oficcially, come here 3,2,1 Take Off 😲😲😱
Going back vertical after the flight is not only an issue about the fuel. But this take off took years and years. Remember the first attempts of Yves Rossy. He is now going vertical too but you should listen to what he says about the difficulties that he's facing
