It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... Swiss 'Jetman'

A Swiss adventurer is making his first
public flights in the United States this
summer with his custom-built jet suit.
Yves Rossy (eev RAW'-see), also known
as "Jetman," is making appearances at
the Experimental Aircraft Association's
AirVenture in Wisconsin. On Monday he
demonstrated his carbon-Kevlar
jetwing with four engines.
His first public flight in the U.S. is set
for Tuesday.
Rossy says he hopes to inspire people
with his flight.
He's able to propel himself through the
sky at upward of 190 mph, controlling
his jet suit with a throttle in his hand.
He can go as high as 12,000 feet.
AirVenture runs through Aug. 4 in
Oshkosh. His flights will be part of the
air shows during the week.
He'll also fly at the Reno Air Races in
September.
