In December 2014, Jetman Yves Rossy flew in formation with an airplane over Dubai with nothing but a jetpack attached to his body. He has hit the skies again, this time around with his protege Jetman Vince Reffet. The amazing 12-minute video titled “Young Feathers,” which is part of the XDubai series, sees the jetmen soar through Dubai skies on jetpacks capable of propelling the pilot to a maximum of 300 km/h, pumping out 22 kg of thrust for flights of 6-13 minutes. The blend of Dubai’s stunning desert, the beautiful ocean, and the big city with surreal architectures and skylines makes the stunningly shot video even more interesting.
