ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Yves Rossy - Jetman
With a jet-powered wing attached to his body, Yves Rossy expands the possibilities of human flight.

Why you should listen

On May 7 of this year, Swiss pilot Yves Rossy stepped out of a helicopter 8,000 feet above the Grand Canyon and ... took off. Wearing a rigid wing powered by four model jet turbine engines, Rossy flew for eight minutes over the mile-deep trench, soaring over the red rocks before parachuting down to the Colorado River far below. It's the latest exploit in a life powered by one dream: to fly like a bird.

Wearing his single wing, Rossy really flies, steering with the movements of his body. In the last couple of years he has crossed the English Channel, flown over the Swiss Alps and performed aerobatic loops around a hot-air balloon; for his next quest, he is developing a new kind of parachute that will enable him to fly as low as 200 meters.

那些画面是三年前
05:21
in various各个 moments瞬间 of your activities活动.
48
306000
2000
在你各种飞行活动中拍摄的
05:23
And there were many许多, many许多 others其他.
49
308000
3000
还有许多许多其它的时刻。
05:26
So it's possible可能 to fly almost几乎 like a bird.
50
311000
2000
所以像鸟那样飞行还是可能的。
05:28
What is it [like] to be up there?
51
313000
2000
在空中是什么感觉呢?
05:30
Yves伊夫 Rossy罗西: It's fun开玩笑. It's fun开玩笑.

(笑声)
05:34
I don't have feathers羽毛.
54
319000
3000
我没有羽毛
05:37
But I feel like a bird sometimes有时.
55
322000
2000
但我有时觉得自己像一只鸟。
05:39
It's really an unreal虚幻 feeling感觉,
56
324000
4000
是一种不真实的感觉
05:43
because normally一般 you have a big thing,
57
328000
2000
因为一般会有大的
05:45
a plane平面, around you.
58
330000
3000
飞机在身边
05:48
And when I strap背带 just these little harnesses吊带,
59
333000
4000
当我带上这些小的降落伞被带,
05:52
this little wing翅膀,
60
337000
2000
这个翅膀
05:54
I really have the feeling感觉 of being存在 a bird.
61
339000
3000
我真的觉得像一只鸟
05:57
BGBG: How did you start开始 to become成为 JetmanJetman?
62
342000
3000
BG: 你怎么会开始当飞人的?
06:00
YRYR: It was about 20 years年份 ago
63
345000
2000
YR: 那是20年前
06:02
when I discovered发现 free自由 falling落下.
64
347000
2000
我发现了自由降落
06:04
When you go out of an airplane飞机
65
349000
2000
当我从飞机出去
06:06
you are almost几乎 naked.
66
351000
2000
几乎裸体
06:08
You take a position位置 like that.
67
353000
3000
就是那种动作
06:11
And especially特别 when you take a tracking追踪 position位置,
68
356000
3000
特别是采取跟随姿势时
06:14
you have the feeling感觉
69
359000
2000
就有一种
06:16
that you are flying飞行.
70
361000
2000
飞翔的感觉
06:18
And that's the nearest最近的 thing to the dream梦想.
71
363000
4000
这就是最接近梦想的事了
06:22
You have no machine around you.
72
367000
3000
周围没有机器
06:25
You are just in the element元件.
73
370000
2000
只有我自己
06:27
It's very short and only in one direction方向.
74
372000
3000
航程很短,而且单项
06:30
So the idea理念
75
375000
2000
所以主要思想
06:32
was, okay, keep that feeling感觉 of freedom自由,
76
377000
5000
就是,好的,保持那种自由的感觉
06:37
but change更改 the vector向量 and increase增加 the time.
77
382000
3000
但要改变航道,增加飞翔时间
06:40
BGBG: So I'm kind of curious好奇, what's your top最佳 speed速度?
78
385000
3000
BG: 所以我有些好奇,你的最高速度是什么?
06:43
YRYR: It's about 300 km千米 per hour小时 before looping循环.
79
388000
4000
YR: 转弯前大概每小时300 公里
06:47
That means手段 about 190 miles英里 per hour小时.
80
392000
3000
就是每小时190公里
06:50
BGBG: And what's the weight重量 of the equipment设备 you're carrying携带?
81
395000
2000
BG:那么你带的器械有多重呢?
06:52
YRYR: When I exit出口 full充分 of kerosene煤油,
82
397000
3000
如果满载柴油
06:55
I'm about 55 kilos公斤.
83
400000
3000
我大概是55 公斤。
06:58
I have 55 kilos公斤 on my back.
84
403000
2000
我是说有55公斤在我的背上
07:00
BGBG: And you're not piloting试点?
85
405000
2000
BG: 那你不飞的时候呢?
07:02
There is no handle处理, no steering操舵 nothing?
86
407000
2000
没有拉手,没有方向盘,什么都没有吗?
07:04
It is purely纯粹 your body身体,
87
409000
2000
就靠你的身体,
07:06
and the wings翅膀 become成为 part部分 of the body身体 and vice versa反之亦然?
88
411000
2000
翅膀变成你身体的部分,或者相反?
07:08
YRYR: That's really the goal目标,
89
413000
2000
YR:这真的是我的目标
07:10
because if you put [in] steering操舵,
90
415000
3000
因为如果我装上方向盘
07:13
then you reinvent重塑 the airplane飞机.
91
418000
2000
就等于重新发明飞机了,
07:15
And I wanted to keep this freedom自由 of movement运动.
92
420000
5000
我想要的是保持这种自由的飞翔动作
07:20
And it's really like the kid孩子 playing播放 the airplane飞机.
93
425000
2000
这很像孩子玩飞机
07:22
I want to go down like that.
94
427000
2000
我就想像那样下降
07:24
And up I climb, I turn.
95
429000
3000
然后上升,转弯。
07:27
It's really pure flying飞行.
96
432000
3000
纯粹的飞行。
07:30
It's not steering操舵, it's flight飞行.
97
435000
3000
不是航行,是飞行。
07:33
BGBG: What kind of training训练 do you do,
98
438000
3000
BG: 你为此做了什么
07:36
you personally亲自, for that?
99
441000
2000
个人训练吗?
07:38
YRYR: Actually其实, I try to stay just fit适合.
100
443000
4000
YR: 实际上,我努力保持健康
07:42
I don't do special特别 physical物理 training训练.
101
447000
4000
我不做特别的体能训练
07:46
Just, I try to keep my mobility流动性
102
451000
4000
我只是通过新的活动
07:50
through通过 new activities活动.
103
455000
3000
保持灵活
07:53
For example,
104
458000
3000
比如
07:56
last winter冬季 I began开始 with kite风筝 surfing冲浪 --
105
461000
3000
去年冬天,我开始风筝冲浪--
07:59
so new things.
106
464000
2000
做新的事情
08:01
So you have to adapt适应.
107
466000
2000
所以你必须适应
08:03
Because this is -- I'm quite相当 an experienced有经验的 manager经理 of systems系统
108
468000
3000
所以就是--我是飞行员
08:06
as a pilot飞行员,
109
471000
2000
对于系统管理很有经验
08:08
but this is really --
110
473000
2000
但是真是情况是
08:10
you need fluidity流动性,
111
475000
2000
我需要流畅性
08:12
you need to be agile敏捷
112
477000
2000
需要灵活
08:14
and also to adapt适应 really fast快速.
113
479000
3000
同时也要能适应快速
08:17
BGBG: Somebody in the audience听众 asked me,
114
482000
2000
BG: 有观众问
08:19
"How does he breathe呼吸 up there?"
115
484000
2000
他在空中是怎么呼吸的?
08:21
because you're going fast快速 and you're up 3,000 meters or so.
116
486000
3000
因为你的速度很快,而且你飞到高空3000米左右处
08:24
YRYR: Okay, up to 3,000 meters,
117
489000
2000
YR: 是的,到3000米
08:26
it's not such这样 a big problem问题 with oxygen.
118
491000
3000
氧气不是大问题
08:29
But for example, bikers骑自行车的人,
119
494000
3000
但是,举例说,自行车手
08:32
they have the same相同 speed速度.
120
497000
2000
也有同样的速度
08:34
Just with the helmet头盔, integral积分 helmet头盔,
121
499000
2000
只要带上面罩
08:36
it's really no problem问题 to breathe呼吸.
122
501000
2000
呼吸不成问题
08:38
BGBG: Describe描述 for me the equipment设备 since以来 you have it here.
123
503000
3000
给我谈谈你带来的这些器械。
08:41
So Breitling's百年灵 four engines引擎.
124
506000
3000
百年灵的四个引擎。
08:44

我唯一的仪器是测高仪和计时器。
09:01
I know I have about eight minutes分钟 fuel汽油.
132
526000
3000
我知道我有大约8分钟的油可用
09:04
So just check before it's finished.
133
529000
4000
所以在用完前要检查一下。
09:08
(Laughter笑声)
134
533000

嗯,就这些了。
09:13
Two parachutes降落伞.
136
538000
3000
两幅降落伞
09:16
That means手段, if I have a problem问题
137
541000
2000
就是说,如果我拉的第一副
09:18
with the first one I pull,
138
543000
2000
降落伞出了问题
09:20
I still have the possibility可能性
139
545000
2000
我还可以
09:22
to open打开 the second第二 one.
140
547000
2000
打开第二个
09:24
And this is my life.
141
549000
2000
所以这是救命用的
09:26
That's the real真实 important重要 thing about safety安全.
142
551000
3000
这对于安全真的很重要
09:29
I did use that
143
554000
2000
我在过去的15年中
09:31
during these last 15 years年份
144
556000

2000
大约20次--
09:35
never with that type类型 of wing翅膀, but at the beginning开始.
146
560000
3000
但是在开始飞的时候。有了这种翅膀后从没用过。
09:38
I can release发布 my wing翅膀
147
563000
3000
我在旋转时,不稳定时
09:41
when I am in a spin or unstable不稳定.
148

152
576000
2000
又冲到海里
09:53
So that was one of those cases where you let the wings翅膀 go, right?
153
578000
3000
你就是在那种情况下你会放开翅膀的,是吗?
09:56
YRYR: Yeah. I did try in [the] clouds,
154
581000
3000
YR: 是的。 我在云层里尝试
09:59
but you lose失去 [orientation方向 completely全然].
155
584000
3000
但是完全失去了方向。
10:02
So I did try to take, again,
156
587000
2000
所以我又尝试
10:04
a climb altitude高度.
157
589000
3000
在往上飞。
10:07
I thought, okay, I will go out.
158
592000
2000
我想,没问题,我会出去的。
10:09
But most probably大概 I did something like that.
159
594000
4000
但是,确实有可能,我那样做了。
10:13
BGBG: Something that is not very safe安全 in image图片.
160
598000
3000
BG: 那样看起来可不安全啊。
10:16
YRYR: But you feel great,
161
601000
2000
YR:但你感觉很棒
10:18
but you have not the right altitude高度.
162
603000
5000
只是高度不对。
10:23
So the next下一个 thing I saw was just blue蓝色.
163
608000
3000
所以后来我看到的就是蓝色
10:26
It was the sea.
164
611000
2000
是大海
10:28
I have also an audible听得见 altimeter高度表.
165
613000
2000
我还有一只发声测高器
10:30
So I was at my minimum最低限度 altitude高度
166
615000
3000
所以我在那个航线的
10:33
in that vector向量 -- fast快速 --
167
618000
3000
最低高度,速度很快
10:36
so I pulled that.
168
621000
2000
拉降落伞
10:38
And then I did open打开 my chute斜道.
169
623000
2000
然后就拉开了
10:40
BGBG: So the wings翅膀 have their own拥有 parachute降落伞, and you have your two parachutes降落伞.
170
625000
3000
所以每个翅膀上都有一个降落伞,总共有两个。
10:43
YRYR: Exactly究竟. There is a rescue拯救 parachute降落伞 for the wing翅膀
171
628000
3000
YR: 确实。翅膀上有一个救援降落伞
10:46
for two reasons原因:
172
631000
2000
主要有两个原因
10:48
so I can repair修理 it afterward之后
173
633000
2000
一来可以在事后修理
10:50
and especially特别 so nobody没有人 takes that, just on his head.
174
635000
4000
另外主要是没有人会拿,就在头顶上。
10:54
BGBG: I see. Maybe come back here.
175
639000
3000
BG: 明白。也许回到这里来
10:57
This is risky有风险 stuff东东 indeed确实.
176
642000
2000
这确实是很危险的。
10:59
People have died死亡 trying to do this kind of thing.
177
644000
3000
有人尝试做这样的事结果送命了。
11:02
And you don't look like a crazy guy; you're a Swiss瑞士人 airline航空公司 pilot飞行员,
178
647000
3000
你看起来不像疯狂的家伙,你是瑞士飞行员。
11:05
so you're rather a checklist清单 kind of guy.
179
650000
3000
所以你是很仔细的人
11:08
I assume承担 you have standards标准.
180
653000
2000
我估计你有你的标准。
11:10
YRYR: Yeah. I have no checklist清单 for that.
181
655000
3000
是的。但我没有什么检查清单。
11:13
BGBG: Let's not tell you employer雇主.
182
658000
3000
BG: 不要告诉你的老板哦!
11:16
YRYR: No, that's really two worlds世界.
183
661000
3000
YR:不,这是两个世界。
11:20
Civil国内 aviation航空 is something that we know very well.
184
665000
3000
我们很了解民航
11:23
We have a hundred years年份 of experience经验.
185
668000
3000
已有两百年的经验
11:26
And you can adapt适应 really precisely恰恰.
186
671000
4000
因此我们可以恪守
11:30
With that,
187
675000
2000
规定
11:32
I have to adapt适应 to something new.
188
677000
2000
但是现在是全新的东西,需要去适应
11:34
That means手段 improvise凑合.
189
679000
2000
这意味着改进
11:36
So it's really a play between之间 these two approaches方法.
190
681000
3000
所以这实在是这两套系统
11:39
Something that I know very well --
191
684000
2000
有一些我很熟悉
11:41
these principles原则, for example,
192
686000
2000
比如这些原则
11:43
we have two engines引擎 on an Airbus空中客车公司;
193
688000
2000
一架空中客车有两个引擎
11:45
with only one engine发动机, you can fly it.
194
690000
2000
但是我们只需要有一个就可以飞行了。
11:47
So plan计划 B, always a plan计划 B.
195
692000
3000
所以要有第二套计划,总是要准备第二套计划。
11:50
In a fighter战斗机, you have an ejection喷出 seat座位.
196
695000
2000
在飞机上,有一个弹射座椅
11:52
That's my ejection喷出 seat座位.
197
697000
2000
这是我的弹射座椅。
11:54
So I have the approach途径 of a professional专业的 pilot飞行员
198
699000
3000
所以我有职业飞行员
11:57
with the respect尊重 of a pioneer先锋
199
702000
5000
在自然母亲面前
12:02
in front面前 of Mother母亲 Nature性质.
200
707000
3000
表示尊敬的做法
12:05
BGBG: It's well said. It's well said.
201
710000
3000
BG: 说的好,说的好。
12:08
What happens发生 if one of the engines引擎 stops停止?
202
713000
3000
如果其中的一个引擎坏了怎么办
12:11
YRYR: I do a roll.
203
716000
4000
YR: 我换另一个用。
12:15
And then I stabilize稳定,
204
720000
2000
然后我根据我的高度
12:17
and according根据 to my altitude高度,
205
722000
2000
稳定速度
12:19
I continue继续 on two or three engines引擎.
206
724000
2000
再用两到三个引擎。
12:21
It's sometimes有时 possible可能 --
207
726000
2000
这是可能的--
12:23
it's quite相当 complicated复杂 to explain说明 --
208
728000
3000
要解释起来比较复杂
12:26
but according根据 to which哪一个 regime政权 I was,
209
731000
4000
但是我采取的方法是
12:30
I can continue继续 on two
210
735000
2000
继续用第二个引擎
12:32
and try to get a nice不错 place地点 to land土地, and then I open打开 my parachute降落伞.
211
737000
3000
找到安全的地方准备降落,然后打开降落伞。
12:35
BGBG: So the beginning开始 of the flight飞行
212
740000
2000
BG: 在飞行开始之时
12:37
is actually其实 you jump off a plane平面 or a helicopter直升机,
213
742000
2000
你实际上会从飞机或直升机上跳下
12:39
and you go on a dive潜水 and accelerate加速 the engines引擎,
214
744000
3000
继续俯冲,加速引擎
12:42
and then you basically基本上 take off mid-air半空 somewhere某处.
215
747000
3000
然后在空中起飞
12:45
And then the landing降落, as we have seen看到,
216
750000
2000
再降落,正如我们所见到的
12:47
arriving到达 on this side of the channel渠道,
217
752000
2000
通过降落伞
12:49
is through通过 a parachute降落伞.
218
754000
2000
在海峡这边抵达
12:51
So just as a curiosity好奇心,
219
756000
2000
有些好奇
12:53
where did you land土地 when you flew over the Grand盛大 Canyon峡谷?
220
758000
3000
你在飞跃大峡谷时在哪里降落呢?
12:56
Did you land土地 on the rim轮缘, down at the bottom底部?
221
761000
3000
是在边缘还是在底谷?
12:59
YRYR: It was down on the bottom底部.
222
764000
2000
YR: 是在底谷
13:01
And I came来了 back afterward之后
223
766000
2000
之后我乘坐在直升机后部的滑板上
13:03
on the sled雪橇 of the helicopter直升机 back.
224
768000
2000
回来
13:05
But it was too stoney斯托尼 and full充分 of cactus仙人掌 on top最佳.
225
770000
5000
在上面岩石坚硬,而且长满仙人掌。
13:10
BGBG: That's exactly究竟 why I asked the question.
226
775000
2000
BG: 所以我才要问这个问题。
13:12
YRYR: And also the currents电流 are quite相当 funny滑稽 there.
227
777000
5000
而且那里的气流也很奇怪
13:17
There is big thermal activity活动,
228
782000
2000
有大的热流活动
13:19
big difference区别 in altitude高度 also.
229
784000
2000
海拔高度也有大的不同。
13:21
So it was much safer更安全 for me to land土地 at the bottom底部.
230
786000
4000
所以降落在低谷安全的多。
13:25
BGBG: So I think that right now, many许多 people in the audience听众
231
790000
3000
BG: 现在,我想,很多在坐的观众
13:28
are asking, "Okay, when are you developing发展 a double-seater双座位
232
793000
2000
一定想问:“ 好啊,什么时候你能设计双座
13:30
so they can fly with you?"
233
795000
2000
他们可以和你一起飞?”
13:32
YRYR: I have a standard标准 answer回答.
234
797000
2000
YR: 我有标准答案
13:34
Have you ever seen看到 tandem串联 birds鸟类?
235
799000
4000
你有见过纵排飞行的鸟呢?
13:38
BGBG: Perfect完善 answer回答.
236
803000
2000
BG: 太棒的答案!
13:40
(Applause掌声)
237
805000
10000

13:50
Yves伊夫, one last question.
238
815000
2000
Yves,最后一个问题
13:52
What's next下一个 for you? What's next下一个 for JetmanJetman?
239
817000
3000
下一步的计划是什么?飞人的下一步计划是什么?
13:55
YRYR: First, to instruct指导 a younger更年轻 guy.
240
820000
4000
YR:首先,带一个学徒
13:59
I want to share分享 it,
241
824000
2000
我想分享我的飞行经验,
14:01
to do formation编队 flights航班.
242
826000
2000
进行常规飞行
14:03
And I plan计划 to start开始 from a cliff悬崖,
243
828000
2000
然后我计划从悬崖开始
14:05
like catapulted连升 from a cliff悬崖.
244
830000
2000
从悬崖上如弹射器般发射
14:07
BGBG: So instead代替 of jumping跳跃 off a plane平面, yes?
245
832000
2000
BG:就是不从飞机上跳下了,是吗?
14:09
YRYR: Yes, with the final最后 goal目标 to take off,
246
834000
2000
YR: 是的,最终的目标是要起飞
14:11
but with initial初始 speed速度.
247
836000
2000
但是初始速度是那样的。
14:13
Really, I go step by step.
248
838000
2000
是的,我是按部就班的做
14:15
It seems似乎 a little bit crazy,
249
840000
2000
看起来有点疯狂
14:17
but it's not.
250
842000
2000
实际上并不是的。
14:19
It's possible可能 to start开始 already已经 now, it's just too dangerous危险.
251
844000
3000
其实现在就可以开始了,就是还觉得太危险
14:22
(Laughter笑声)
252
847000
2000
(笑)
14:24
Thanks谢谢 to the increasing增加 technology技术, better technology技术,
253
849000
4000
由于不断完善的技术
14:28
it will be safe安全.
254
853000
2000
会安全的。
14:30
And I hope希望 it will be for everybody每个人.
255
855000
3000
我希望今后每个人都可以飞。
14:33
BGBG: Yves伊夫, thank you very much. Yves伊夫 Rossy罗西.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Yves Rossy - Jetman
With a jet-powered wing attached to his body, Yves Rossy expands the possibilities of human flight.

Why you should listen

On May 7 of this year, Swiss pilot Yves Rossy stepped out of a helicopter 8,000 feet above the Grand Canyon and ... took off. Wearing a rigid wing powered by four model jet turbine engines, Rossy flew for eight minutes over the mile-deep trench, soaring over the red rocks before parachuting down to the Colorado River far below. It's the latest exploit in a life powered by one dream: to fly like a bird.

Wearing his single wing, Rossy really flies, steering with the movements of his body. In the last couple of years he has crossed the English Channel, flown over the Swiss Alps and performed aerobatic loops around a hot-air balloon; for his next quest, he is developing a new kind of parachute that will enable him to fly as low as 200 meters.
