Yves Rossy has finally realized Icarus' dream by designing a special jet powered wing to enable him to fly like a bird.  Following a long line of predecessors, the Swiss inventor, whose lifetime passion is flying and who once flew for the Swiss army at the controls of the Mirage III, then went on to fly Airbuses, has created and developed wings which allow him to actually fly.

In detail
After seven years of designing, building and testing his wings, Yves Rossy achieved sustained solo flight in the autumn of 2004. With his latest design he can fly at over 200km/hr at great height. During the flight, Yves's body becomes like a bird and unlike an aeroplane Yves does not ride his wings but truly flies them, using various light body movements that he has learned to handle with perfection.

What he offers you
With boundless energy Yves Rossy inspires audiences towards achieving their individual and business goals by applying the lessons he learned on his way to becoming "Jet Man".  In his presentations he talks about his unique journey and how with a "can-do" attitude anything can be achieved.

How he presents
Backing up his presentations with dramatic footage from his aerial exploits, Yves leaves audiences spell bound and awe-inspired as he tells the story of his dream to one day fly like a bird.
