Yves Rossy, a Swiss pilot, inventor and aviation enthusiast, was the first person to fly a jet engine-powered wing strapped to his back, and now stretching his daredevil attitude further, the Rocket Man (as they call him) jumped off a hot air balloon in Switzerland to carry out two full loops at approximately 200mph with only a custom built jet wing attached to him. Rossy jumped off a hot air balloon 7800 feet in the air over Lake Geneva wearing a 121 lbs wing suit that relies on Rossy’s body movements for steering.

Applying modern materials and manufacturing methods to the antiquated 19th century technology of airships, designer James Yarger has developed an airship concept dubbed the “Ground to Orbit” (GTO) that makes use of lighter than air (LTA) gas for easy lift and better performance on stretched expeditions, while leaving about 80% less carbon footprint in comparison to any similar sized aircraft. Featuring a body finished in lightweight fabric/objects, the new airship doesn’t need a runway, which makes it a very practical means of delivery and pickup of cargo and passengers from remote locations around the world. Presenting an aerodynamic design to ensure better speed and performance, the GTO offers a safe and sustainable flight than any passenger jet.
