Iron Man Soon To Be A Reality?
Yves 'Fusion Man' Rossy yesterday achieved a 5 minute flight using a homemade winged jetpack strapped to his back, after stepping from a plain at 7,500ft. He swooped and soared above the Swiss Alps, turning figure of eights to show it's maneouverabilty.
It has so far cost $285,000 and his marraige, but Yves is keen to keep working on his jet pack to make it bigger and more powerful for an attempt to cross the English channel later this year and hopes to eventually make it strong enough to cross the Grand Canyon.
All I can say is - WOW

I've added a link to the ITN News report on this which shows him stepping out of the plane and the wings flapping open as he goes into freefall.
I'm jealous.
