Yves Rossy created a winged jetpack that enables him to take to the sky with the freedom of a bird, awarding him the accurate moniker of Jet Man. And let me tell you, seeing a human body flying right next to full metal jets has completely shaken up what’s possible!

Yves Rossy is just one of those great people who must never have heard “it can’t be done”. We thank both Airborne Films–Jetman (what beautiful work) and XDubai (leading out on the edges) for bringing us some of the Jetman story in the videos below!

The marvel of this leap in aviation is incalculable. I’m not sorry to admit that my sense of possibility was expanded by watching this and that I shed a little tear. Just imagine the thoughts running through the minds of those jet pilots flying in formation, watching JetMan and his friend crisscross the sky above them!

Swooping Into New Perspectives: Speedflying
The inspiration to fly quietly, light as air, as been the stuff of dreams for many since childhood. Now many forms of flight make that possible, but have you heard of Speedflying?

I was going to leave it there, but I had so many questions. I’m not sure the following video answered many of them, but the pure wonder and spectacle of this next video bring an entirely different kind of awe.
Here are Yves and his partner flying through the landscapes and cities of the Arabian Peninsula and giving us a better idea of how extraordinary it feels!

Can you imagine yourself doing this?
If each of us had a balance of positive news stories each day like this one, there’s no telling what students and ordinary great people might be inspired to do!
Questions may race through our minds:
What does this tell us about what is possible in many other fields that need innovation desperately?
What might this mean for personal transportation in the future?
If others knew about this story, how might this improve the mindset of young innovators just starting on their journeys of possibility?

Hello @roachnolan, We have met 3 times already!
I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.
KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!
Tips:
Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!
Woff, woff! 🐶
