On his back is a jet-powered (装有喷气发动机的) “wing”. He starts his four engines and then jumps from the helicopter, diving (俯冲) toward the ground at great speed. The man arches (弓起) his back to stop the dive, and now he’s flying! This is not a scene from an action movie — it’s just another day for Jetman, Yves Rossy. “I really have the feeling of being a bird,” says Rossy. He has few tools to help control the “wing”. He changes his direction simply by moving his body. “It’s really true flying. It’s not driving; it’s flight.” He only has two instruments — one to tell him the height at the moment and another to tell him how much fuel (燃料) he has. It’s a different world from Rossy’s job before as an airline pilot, but safety is still important. If something goes wrong, Rossy has two parachutes (降落伞) for himself and another for his “wing”. If one of the four engines stops, he can continue with the other three or even two. After just less than ten minutes, the fuel is almost empty. Rossy opens one of his parachutes, and he begins to fall gently to the ground. Another successful flight is complete. In the future, Rossy hopes to make this kind of flight safer, and as he says, “I hope it will be for everybody.” While reading Reading tasks Language points Exercises 1.
