Yves Rossy (born August 27, 1959) is a Swiss pilot, inventor and aviation enthusiast.
He invented and is the first person to have flown a jet engine-powered wing strapped
to his back. The flight occurred in November 2006 in Bex, lasting nearly six minutes.
While work with jet packs to propel humans dates back as far as World War II, his is
the first contraption to also have wings.
Yves has served as a fighter pilot in the Swiss Air Force flying Dassault Mirage IIIs,
Northrop F-5 Tiger IIs and Hawker Hunters. He flew Boeing 747s for Swissair and now
