Adventurer jumps from hot air balloon with jetpack

Renouned Swiss adventurer Yves Rossy who famously used his jetpack to cross the English Channel was back yesterday using an updated model of his winged jetpack to a few arial loops after jumping from a hot air balloon 2.4kms from the surface.

Testing his new, more aerodynamic bodied jetpack Rossy flew for 18 minutes and completing a few stunts before landing. A statement on his website read:

"He flew a few minutes to stabilise his wing and find the optimal angle to begin two loopings."

"The flight went well, despite a little problem when starting my engines. I was able to do my two loopings and I am very happy."

Rossy covered over 35kms in just 10minutes, flying at speeds close to 200km/h.
