“It is the first time that two guys [have flown] in formation like that – like birds, but only with body movements. The average speed when we are going straight is about 200kph. While we are descending, we can go up to 300kph. It’s quite fast – it’s like the maximum speed of a biker,” Rossy said, speaking to RT.
During his career, Rossy has used around 15 different jetpacks that he designed himself. His current pack weighs over 50 kilograms, with flights lasting around 15 minutes.
“The equipment that we are using is a rigid wing that has four turbine engines, which allows us to fly pretty much where we want. We are controlling everything with our body,” Rossy added.
