He has also flown over the English Channel, the Grand Canyon and Rio de Janeiro, as well as flying in formation with jet airplanes and a Spitfire fighter. In each flight lasting about 10 minutes, he dove from a helicopter, soared as high as 3657 metres and parachuted back to earth from an altitude of around 800 metres.
Rossy uses a 'jetman' system he designed and built. It's a backpack with carbon-fibre wings spanning about two metres, powered by four attached jet engines modified from large model aircraft engines and can reach speeds of 300km/h.
Here he is flying over and around Mt. Fuji.
