The Road to Takeoff - Jetman Dubai - 4K

The road to Friday, February 14th, 2020: #Jetman Vince Reffet took off, headed south towards Jumeirah Beach Residence, building speed and height. In 8 seconds he had reached 100 meters height, in 12 seconds 200m, 19 seconds 500m, and reached 1000m in 30 seconds at an average speed of 130 knots. At the end of a 3-minute flight punctuated by a roll and a loop at 1800m altitude, Jetman Vince Reffet opened his parachute at 1500m before landing back at Skydive Dubai.

It is the first time in history that a #JetmanDubai pilot could combine hovering safely at a limited altitude and flying aerobatics at high altitude in the same flight.
Controlled from the ground by the human body, the equipment enables Jetman Dubai to reach speeds of 400kmh, as well as hovering, changing direction and performing loops.

Held under the theme ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future’, Expo 2020 will be the first World Expo ever hosted in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia, region since the first edition in London in 1851. UAE prepares to welcome 192 nations and millions of global visitors for Expo 2020 Dubai from 20 October 2021 to 10 April 2022.

What a legend! RIP Vince....history will never forget that you were the first human to truly fly and everything hereafter is thanks to you

[JTHBS]

RIP... You lived a great life. It's sad to hear him say... It's just the beginning :(

The ending hearing Vince speak now saying that they are just getting started is so heartbreaking. A true legend gone too soon!

When I first saw this video, I could not believe my eyes, it was as if I was actually watching ironman take flight. The amount of skill, talent, dedication and courage it takes to pull something like this off, Vince was legendary, and will forever be a found father of jet suit aviation.

Rest in Peace, Jetman.

How does this video have so little views and not making news everywhere on social media? This is absolutely amazing and the future of human flight.

[ElonMusk-FanZone]

You Dubai folks have All the fun!!! Great Work!
Suggestion: don't use ABC powder based Fire extinguishers on your turbines, the grit in the powder destroys the bearings. Use Halon instead. A few bucks more, but will save your turbine.

Turbine helo pilot 26 years, we only use Halon.

This is the freakin coolest shiz I’ve ever seen

"Sir, we got an aircraft in our radar, currently clocking 210 mph"

"What is it? A jet? A chopper? A drone?"

*_"No sir, its a man."_*

[internettoughguy]

When he starts to commit to the climb he's got to go full throttle and gain altitude as fast as possible because if the engines fail during that time he won't have enough height to use his parachute. That's the most dangerous part of his flight.

[ChuckNorris-dddl]

Absolutely incredible! I can't believe i've lived to the day to see my deepest most desired dream become a reality. Incredibly talented guys.

[NardelliFilmesOficial]

super nice! Vince was super excited about all these new stuff ! RIP Vince

[mobydex]

It is also my dream since my childhood, It is the feeling of freedom, I salute you!!

[thaiiexpat]

for take-off and landing..seems like the vertical/horizontal should all be automated/programmed. Seems like the computer can adjust must faster than your manual control, no?

[kirarobin]

I think their very much underestimating how much of a leap this is in human innovation, in my opinion. Like he was literally just hovering there and then took off like a jet. Literally a flying human!
