Swiss inventor, Yves Rossy, developed and made a jet pack that allows him to fly at heights up to 6,500ft. The jet pack is made of small 4 jet engines attached to carbon wings. His first real flight was over the English Channel, where he jumped from a plane over Calais and flew 200 mph crossing the English Channel in 13 minutes before landing in Dover.

The inventor says the suit will eventually be available to the public but it's still a few years away. This is the first step of many towards a future of human flight.

This is a link to a video of him going across the Grand Canyon:
