Jetmen fly through Tianmen Cave in jaw-dropping stunt
- 4 years ago
Daredevil 'Jetmen' took a step closer to achieving human flight as they soared through Tianmen Cave in a jaw-dropping stunt in China back in November.
Frenchmen Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet took a helicopter up to height and then flew through the sky and natural arch 'Heaven's Gate' in Zhangjiajie to the amazement of onlookers.
The stunt was part of 'Mission: Human Flight' - a programme that aims to achieve 100 percent autonomous human flight.
Both were equipped with a carbon fiber wing powered by four mini-reactors, which are controlled by the 'Jetman' and can reach speeds of up to 400kmh - as well as hovering, changing direction and performing loops.
Jetmen will continue to wow the crowds across the world throughout the year as part of Expo 2020 Dubai.
