Yves Rossey used his homemade rocket wing to fly over the Alps today and was able to maneuver well enough to do figure eights. He jumped out of a plane, and once gliding started his four jet turbine engines.

He flew across the sky at an amazing 186 mph and turned the wings effortlessly with his body as high as 2,600 feet. He believes the rocket wing has much more potential and will attempt to fly across the English Channel, and eventually through the Grand Canyon.

Rossey says the hardest thing about flying is keeping his body relaxed. If he tenses up it is harder to control, otherwise he claims it feels like you are just riding a motorcycle.

I hope one day I can go parachuting strapped to one of those. That would be truly amazing!
