Fly Like a Bird

Flying makes you claustrophobic, you say? There is hope for you.

Yves Rossy, or jet-man, a Swiss ex-military pilot has been trying to revolutionize air travel for years and he has broken several world records. The guy has become the first human being to fly horizontally with wings and four jet engines attached. The height: 4000 meters (12,000 feet). The video looks amazing.

Watch out, this might be the Segway of air-travel. Hopefully, a little more successful.
