Pilot: Yves Rossy
Before pulling on a lever that controls the opening of his wings, Yves lets himself glide for a couple seconds. At the altitude of 2500m (8 202 feet), he starts the ignition of the engines and waits 30 seconds for them to be able to stabilize. Once they are steady, he can turn-up the engine power and suddenly the dream comes true!
Flight Statistics:
- Endurance: 5 minutes
- Speed 120 to 300 km/h (75 to 186 MPH)
- Climb rate: 1,000 ft/min
