Swiss Yves Rossi flying with a jetpack at the altitude of 1.2km next to an airplane

Air Traffic Control hates this one weird trick.

My aerospace engineers have urged me not to partake in such preposterous hobbies

That is about the scariest thing i've ever seen.

You'd think those giant nuts would disrupt his aerodynamics.

That’s not just your regular airliner either. It’s an A380. If he gets in just a little bit of the jet wash, he’s fricked worse than Goose was.

Without a doubt the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long, long time.



Also, to echo someone above, that looks entirely higher than 4K fit. Looks more like 15-20k.

Doing this and then hopping on and off a garbage truck sums up my life goals when I was 7 years old.

They don’t care. Looks like a standard formation to me. They treat it as one aircraft with a few caveats.

ETA: That’s cool as shite.

That's cool, but this is definitely a technology I'll be happy to never utilize.
