The Avengers may be taking the box office by storm, but there’s another flying figure who’s gracing the skies instead of the silver screen. Yves “Jetman” Rossy, modern day Rocketeer, dropped from a helicopter sporting a Breitling jetpack and soared over Rio de Janeiro for a groundbreaking (skybreaking?) eleven-minute flight in early May of 2012.
Rossy is a Swiss inventor and pilot and the first person to sustain human flight while using a jetpack. Though he has completed several other flights successfully, his most recent flight over Rio de Janeiro is perhaps the most breathtaking yet. The Jetman’s jaunt took him past the Christ the Redeemer statue at speeds of 200-300 km/h.
Rossy has developed his own set of wings, and though he hasn’t quite mastered an unaided takeoff yet, he has managed to fly for a whopping 18 minutes at one time and has even created a simple throttle which helps direct his flight path.
There’s a lot of behind the scenes technical and mechanical know-how to get a project as unusual as a human rocket off the ground. It’s no surprise that Breitling—well known for their history with aeronautical pioneers and, of course, the Breitling Jet Team, that the famous watch brand would have a hand in helping the latest advances in aeronautics get off the ground.
In fact, this is not the Jetman’s first flight with the Breitling. Just last year he shared the skies with the Breitling Jet Team, following the aerobatics of the planes with his own take on the stunts. Rossy’s flight over Brazil was a solo affair (apart from the helicopter drop off), but the Jetman was still accompanied by the trademark set of Breitling wings on his jetpack.
It’s no wonder that Breitling would team up with Rossy. Not only does the brand have a longstanding relationship with aeronautical advances (in fact, the watch built its reputation off of crafting quality watches for pilots), both flight and watches require an incredible attention to detail and mathematics for accuracy.
What’s next for the Jetman? Will he be making tours of locations with oversized statues? Stonehenge would make a great locale, or the Leshan Giant Buddha statue in China. I vote for Mount Rushmore—after all: Teddy Roosevelt was the first American President to fly a plane!
Whatever the locale, Yves “Jetman” Rossy will certainly have his name down in the history books, wearing his bright yellow jumpsuit and Breitling’s wings.

Yves “Jetman” Rossy once again pushed the boundaries of aviation by completing a fabulous flight above the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
This airborne pioneer, who is the only man to fly with a rigid wing equipped with four jet engines, jumped out of a helicopter above the Rodrigo de Freitas Lake, before stabilizing the wing and heading full throttle north to fly around Corcovado Hill. He then tracked south of the city to fly alongside Ipanema Beach, Copacabana and the famous Sugar Loaf Mountain, before pulling his parachute and landing safely on the beach in front of the Copacabana Palace hotel.
The carbon-kevlar jetwing is equipped with four jet engines, each with a 22 kg thrust, thus propelling the Swiss aviator at a speed of 200-300 km/h which he controls via a simple hand-held throttle in his hand. To adjust his trajectory and his altitude, he relied exclusively on maneuvering his body, shoulders and legs.
The entire feat lasted 11 minutes 35 seconds in all, at an average altitude of 1200 meters, and no problems were reported before, during or after the flight. A former fighter pilot and current Swiss International Air Lines captain, Yves Rossy naturally ensured that all necessary safety measures were in place.

Announced as a “The Breitling seal of confidence”, Breitling has announced that they will be introducing a 5 Year warranty exclusive to their Manufacture Movements, which at this time include the 01, 04 and 05 movements.
This is a very impressive move by Breitling to provide such a long warranty. Given that they are in fact only providing it on their own manufacture movements says a lot about their confidence and pride in their own work. I’m curious when this new warranty will kick in and whether or not it will be retroactive to B01′s purchased before the announcement. At any rate, a nice move from Breitling.
