Abu Dhabi, Nov 7: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Superman? Nope, It's just Dubai's resident 'JetMan' flying alongside the Emirates A380 at about 4,000 feet.
In a video that went viral on Thursday, Yves Rossy and Vincent Reffet, have now become the only two people in the world to fly with the innovative Jetman wings, on either side of the Emirates A380 aircraft over an impressive scenery: Palm Jumeirah and Dubai skyline with Burj Khalifa in the background.
Flying at about 4,000 feet, the A380 aircraft was seen cruising Dubai’s skies before the two jet men were deployed from a helicopter hovering above. The two 'JetMen' make this dangerous feat of flying alongside an airplane that can hold over 800 passengers look straightforward.
Despite the entire feat looking super easy, Emirates 24/7 reports that it took weeks of "painstaking planning and meticulous collaboration with an intense focus on safety" to finally reach the filming stage.
Adel Al Redha, Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer for Emirates said in a press release that, “This display between man and machine celebrates the magic and beauty of flight, a feat which just over a hundred years ago would have seemed an impossible dream. It also showcases how far human vision and ambition has, and can continue to push aviation’s boundaries.”
"We will be mosquitoes flying with an eagle or condor," Rossy said in a behind-the-scenes video.
A practice flight was conducted on 12 October and the final formation flight and filming took place on 13 October.
