Jetman made his first flight in Asia
The Swiss pilot and inventor Yves Rossy, nicknamed "Jetman", made his first flight in Asia, which is sponsored by watchmaker Breitling.
In a suit of his own design, with four jet engines, nine times he flew around Mount Fuji in recognition of its UNESCO World Heritage Site. Before that Jetman made flying across the English Channel and the Grand Canyon in the United States.
The Jetman`s aircraft does not provide the taking-off from the ground - on the right to start it rises to the height of an airplane, helicopter or hot air balloon, a parachute is used for landing; the wing of the Yves Rossy is equipped with its own parachute.

The wing runs on kerosene tank holds 30 liters. The maximum speed, the Swiss developed, is 300 km / h.
Yves Rossy has shared his feelings: "Flights - this is my dream. Inexpressible perceived contrast - to fly freely with only the wing behind his back, or be constrained to close the shell cockpit. It is difficult to describe the emotions and feelings when opportunities are opening up like this, it is something spiritual, it`s enormous. I - the lucky ones who had a chance, but I hope to motivate the next generation to do something special , to fight and to achieve their goals ... even if they appear to be unenforceable."
