Yves Rossy The Swiss Jet Man-ENGLISH TEXT under 'More info'

Back


ENGLISH TRANSLATION HERE (I'm not l337 enuf to do subtitles :) The Jet Man, Yves Rossy, a former Swiss military pilot, designed and built a deployable 3-meter wing, holding kerosene fuel for 2 jet engines (as of May 2008 FOUR turbines on a 2.5m wing!!) fixed to the tips and attached it to his back. Rossy launched from an airplane and flew for 4 minutes, traveling over 100 mph, landing by parachute. http://www.jet-man.com/prod/index_en.html OK here's my attempt at translation (if you can, please correct!): 00:16 (VIDEO START) 00:20 (German) Further, further away from the car 00:22 Yes 00:24 (French) Towards the drain 00:25 There? 00:26 Yep 00:33 ('SCOTLAND THE BRAVE' RINGTONE) 00:48 So, the idea is, as we see here, there's the fuel, the smoke cartridges, and the jet engines underneath, for horizontal flight. 01:00 In fact, the Flying Jet Man, that's the idea. And to do that we've developed this folding wing, taking into account the space available in the plane, because we don't have much space. A wing of 3 meters would not fit in the plane without being folding. 01:19 It's nearly a mini-airplane, except that, well, I'm the fuselage. So there's fuel, batteries, gas for starting the jet engines, oil is in the kerosene for lubricating the engine. I have a little handle for moving the ailerons so I can go up and down, so I've got all the controls just like a plane, and like I said I'm the fuselage with two jet engines up my backside! 01:56 The goal - horizontal flight. That's it. 03:08 (START ENGINES IN PLANE, WINGS FOLDED) 03:23 (JUMP) 04:27 (PARACHUTE OPENS) 04:50 (LANDING, WINGS FOLDED) 04:52 (excited) I had a fantastic exit from the plane, that's already a good start, because the wings don't open symmetrically, so I'm always a little tense that that will work well, sometimes that creates a little half turn like that, but I've exited well, and clunk! I was stable, so that's already a good start to the flight. 05:08 Physically it feels great, you're in gliding flight like that, you feel that you're falling, gliding, that's already OK, you're in flight, then you hit the gas, and vroom! bang! you feel how that pushes, and it holds up horizontally, it's great. 05:26 It's like there's a big handle in your back, and the good Lord takes you by it and shoves you through the air, it's fantastic!!

Somebody writing a comment like that which contains the word "think". Now there's irony.
RabiaB (Sunday 12th of October 2008 02:04:32 AM)
Wow. Cool. It's great you added the translations and kept starting preparations and landings in. Thanks ever!

Is it general believe where you come from that if you use the word god often enough (or, seeing the captialization, yell it often enough) he/she/they are on your side? If that works he/she/they were on the side of the spanish inquisition to.

RabiaB, GOD thee ALMIGHTY LORD will strike you down for speaking such blasphemy vitriol.
RabiaB (Sunday 12th of October 2008 06:18:52 AM)
@Robert111: **riotious laughing** You are such fun. You actually think you know the will & actions of god(s)? Maybe you should change your username to "vox dei", add captialization to taste. Mostly I think that you substitute cheap religious phrases for thinking and those phrases are probably all that you know of religion. You think that's blasphemy too?
