Yves Rossy was a guest speaker to the Society of Experimental Test Pilots at our annual European Symposium, held this year in Lausanne. He brought along the kit, and took us through the very scientific development and testing process that he had followed. I guess if there had been a mechanism for granting instant membership of our society, a 'yes' decision from the audience would have been unanimous. I hope he's now finding the time to fill in the forms.
His achievement is pretty unique.
Respect, absolutely. Here's wishing him luck with the cross-Channel venture.
BTW, he's ex Swiss Air Force, and still a Reservist, flying fast jets, as well as his day-job.
KeyGrip: I think you'll find there's a one-word answer: EXEMPTIONS.
