Wonderful Luc!!
As a retired naval aviator, I cannot imagine doing that without an airplane wrapped around me...
Tnx...

Pulling for P3E...
Not to encourage Luc's off-meds/off-topic postings, but is this for real? Those wings don't quite look like they have sufficient surface area to support 200 pounds or so of man & jet engine.......

It's all about speed... Force is a factor of area and velocity. That wing is not a lifting airfoil. It is a fully symetrical surface. At those kinds of speed, the atmosphere is nothing but a fluid. If you change the orientation of the wing, it causes a nearly instanteous change in direction parallel to the chord of the wing.

Having seen video of this guy, I didn't see any evidence that he could actually gain significant altitude. He jumps out of a plane, glides around for a while, then pops a parachute to land.
But then there was that sighting in Arizona: http://tinyurl.com/ytlft9
Obviously the CIA is hushing this up too. :-)

from jet-man.com:
Since this First success, Yves did more than 30 motorized flights, improving this first prototype with the help of his team. He could fly as long as 6 minutes 30" and even with a little climb rate.
"even with a little climb rate" == "no significant altitude gain"
I note he's looking for sponsors. There's one born every minute.

you can read on the page:
Yves is actually busy developing a second wing with ascensionnal and aerobatic capacities. And we don't speak of future take-off possibilities...!
The video ends with a generic stating a 1000 feet per minute ascencion rate at 100 knots

After watching Top Gear on the BBC last night, I'll believe that anything could be made to fly if you stick a big enough rocket to the thing. They strapped a Reliant Robin to something that looked remarkably like a Shuttle assembly and launched it. What surprised me was when the damn thing actually took off....

p.s: To you Yanks etc., a Reliant Robin is a small 3-wheeler car.
shh.. I've not seen it yet...

In a world where lies are used to be truth it's hard to tell if something is true or not but for this one it is. There is link to contact the "Batman" it was a former military jet and airline pilot.
