    WHAT IS MISSION: HUMAN FLIGHT?

    Humans have dreamed of flying since the beginning of recorded history. And finally, this vision is turning into reality.

    Powered by Expo 2020, in collaboration with XDubai, Jetman will achieve 100 percent autonomous human flight by 2020.

    THE GREY AREA
    There is a height range where humans cannot fly autonomously. It is called the grey area. By flying at altitudes never attempted before, Jetman is narrowing the grey area. And in 2020, it will disappear.

    THE JETMAN TEAM
    The multinational team includes Vince Reffet and Fred Fugen, both French athletes with an impressive list of accomplishments in the world of extreme sports.

    Vince and Fred will be supporting Ahmed Hassan Alshehhi, an award-winning athlete from the UAE, set to become the first Emirati to achieve autonomous human flight by 2020.

    The 31-year-old has successfully undertaken 5,300 skydive jumps and his other skills in aviation include paramotor, excitor, paragliding and speed flying.
