Jetman - Yves Rossy

Grand Canyon

[Grand Canyon]

Narrator: Many of the tests are conducted

(Video) Pripovjedačica: Mnogi testovi se obavljaju

while Yves is strapped onto the wing,

dok je Yves spojen na krilo,

because Yves' body is an integral part of the aircraft.

jer je Yvesovo tijelo ključni dio letjelice.

[Wind tunnel tests]

Tekst: Testovi u vjetro-tunelima

Narrator: The wing has no steering controls, no flaps, no rudder.

Pripovjedačica: Krilo nema kontrole,

nema zakrilca, nema kormila.

Yves uses his body to steer the wing.

Yves koristi svoje tijelo da bi upravljao krilom.

Stefan Von Bergen: Well, he turns

Stefan von Bergen: Pa on skreće

by just putting his head on one or the other side.

samo stavljajući glavu na jednu ili drugu stranu.

And sometimes he assists that with his hands,

I nekad tome pomaže svojim rukama,

sometimes even with the leg.

ponekad čak i nogom.

He's acting as a human fuselage, so to say.

On se ponaša kao ljudski trup aviona, tako reći.

I ovo je zaista jedinstveno.

And that's quite unique.

Pripovjedačica: Kada izvine leđa,

Narrator: When he arches his back, he gains altitude.

on dobiva na visini.

Kada gurne ramena prema naprijed,

When he pushes his shoulders forward, he goes into a dive.

on ide u zaron.

[English Channel crossing]

Prelazak Engleskog kanala

Commentator One: There he goes.

Komentator 1: Eno ga ide.

There is Yves Rossy.

To je Yves Rossy.

And I think the wing is open.

I mislim da je krilo otvoreno, krilo je otvoreno.

So our first critical moment, it's open.

Dakle naš prvi kritični trenutak, otvoreno je.

Dolje je. Leti li?

He is down. Is he flying?

Komentator 2: Čini se da se stabilizirao.

Commentator Two: It looks like he's stabilized.

Počinje svoj uspon.

He's starting to make his climb.

Commentator One: There's that 90 degree turn.

Komentator 1: Evo tog okreta od 90 stupnjeva o kojem si pričao, odnosi ga.

Izlazi iznad kanala.

He's out over the channel.

To je Yves Rossy.

There is Yves Rossy.

There is no turning back now.

Sada nema povratka.

He is over the English Channel and under way.

Došao je iznad Engleskog Kanala i na putu je.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Dame i gospodo,

a historic flight has begun.

povijesni let je počeo.

[Images: National Geographic]

Commentator Two: And as he approaches the ground,

Kometnator 2: I ono što će učiniti dok se približava tlu

he's going to pull down on those toggles to flare,

je povući te pritege kako bi se raširio,

usporio se samo malo,

slow himself down just a little bit,

and then come in for a nice landing.

i onda lijepo ugodno sletio.

Komentator 1: Evo ga.

Commentator One: There he is.

Yves Rossy has landed in England.

Yves Rossy sletio je u Englesku.

Bruno Giussani: And now he's in Edinburgh. Yves Rossy!

Bruno Giussani: I sada je u Edinburghu. Yves Rossy.

(Pljesak)

(Applause)

(Applause ends)

I njegova oprema također,

And his equipment as well.

Yves, welcome. It is quite amazing.

Yves, dobrodošao. Zaista je zapanjujuće.

Those sequences were shot over the last three years

Ove snimke napravljene su u razdoblju od posljednje tri godine

u različitim trenutcima tvojih aktivnosti.

in various moments of your activities.

I postojale su mnoge, mnoge druge.

And there were many, many others.

So it's possible to fly almost like a bird.

Dakle moguće je letjeti gotovo poput ptice.

What is it like to be up there?

Kako je biti tamo gore?

Yves Rossy: It's fun. It's fun.

Yves Rossy: Zabavno je. Zabavno je.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I don't have feathers.

Nemam perje.

But I feel like a bird sometimes.

Ali ponekad se osjećam kao ptica.

To je zaista nestvaran osjećaj,

It's really an unreal feeling,

because normally you have a big thing,

jer inače imate veliku stvar,

avion, oko sebe.

a plane, around you.

And when I strap just this little harness,

I kad spojim samo ovo malo remenje,

ovo malo krilo.

this little wing,

Stvarno imam osjećaj da sam ptica.

I really have the feeling of being a bird.

BG: How did you start to become Jetman?

BG: Kako ste postali Jetman?

YR: It was about 20 years ago,

YR: To je bilo prije otprilike 20 godina

when I discovered free falling.

kada sam otkrio slobodan pad.

When you go out of an airplane, you are almost naked.

Kada izađete iz zrakoplova

gotovo ste goli.

Zauzmete ovakav položaj.

You take a position like that.

And especially when you take a tracking position,

Osobito kad zauzmete ovaj položaj,

imate osjećaj

you have the feeling that you are flying.

da letite.

And that's the nearest thing to the dream.

I to je najbliža stvar snu.

You have no machine around you.

Nemate stroj oko sebe.

You are just in the element.

Samo ste u elementu.

It's very short and only in one direction.

Vrlo je kratko i samo u jednom smjeru.

(Laughter)

Tako da je ideja

So the idea was, okay,

bila, u redu, zadržimo taj osjećaj slobode,

keep that feeling of freedom,

but change the vector and increase the time.

ali promijenimo vektor i povećajmo vrijeme.

BG: Znatiželjan sam, koja je vaša najveća brzina?

BG: So I'm kind of curious, what's your top speed?

YR: Otprilike 300 km na sat prije kruženja.

YR: It's about 300 km per hour before looping.

That means about 190 miles per hour.

To znači otprilike 190 milja po satu.

BG: What's the weight of the equipment you're carrying?

BG: I koja je težina opreme koju nosite?

YR: Kad izađem pun kerozina,

YR: When I exit full of kerosene,

I'm about 55 kilos.

imam oko 55 kilograma.

I have 55 kilos on my back.

Imam 55 kilograma na leđima.

BG: And you're not piloting?

BG: I niste pilot?

There is no handle, no steering, nothing?

Ne postoji ručka, skretanje ništa?

It is purely your body,

To je samo vaše tijelo,

and the wings become part of the body and vice versa?

i krila postaju dio tijela i obrnuto?

YR: That's really the goal,

YR: To je zapravo cilj,

because if you put in steering,

jer ako ugradite skretanje,

then you reinvent the airplane.

onda ste samo ponovno izmislili avion.

And I wanted to keep this freedom of movement.

I htio sam zadržati ovu slobodu pokreta.

And it's really like the kid playing the airplane.

I to je kao kad se dijete igra aviona.

Želim ići prema dolje tako.

I want to go down like that.

I penjem se gore, skrećem.

And up I climb, I turn.

It's really pure flying.

To je zaista čisto letenje.

It's not steering, it's flight.

Nije skretanje, to je let.

BG: What kind of training do you do, you personally, for that?

BG: Kako trenirate,

osobno, za to?

YR: Actually, I try to stay just fit.

YR: Zapravo, želim ostati samo fit.

I don't do special physical training.

Ne radim poseban fizički trening.

Samo, pokušavam zadržati svoju pokretljivost

I just try to keep my mobility through new activities.

kroz nove aktivnosti.

Na primjer,

For example, last winter I began with kite surfing.

prošle zime počeo sam surfati --

dakle nove stvari.

So, new things.

So you have to adapt.

Tako da se morate prilagoditi.

I'm quite an experienced manager of systems as a pilot,

Jer ovo je -- ja sam poprilično iskusan upravitelj sustava

kao pilot,

but this is, really --

ali ovo je zapravo --

You need fluidity,

trebate fluidnost,

you need to be agile

morate biti agilni

i jako brzo se prilagođavati.

and also to adapt really fast.

BG: Somebody in the audience asked me,

BG: Netko u publici pitao me,

"How does he breathe up there?"

"Kako diše tamo gore?"

Because you're going fast and you're up at 3,000 meters or so.

jer idete tako brzo i na visini se od prilike 3.000 metara.

YR: Okay, up to 3,000 meters,

YR: U redu, do 3.000 metara,

it's not such a big problem with oxygen.

nije tako velik problem s kisikom.

Ali naprimjer, biciklisti,

But for example, bikers,

they have the same speed.

oni imaju istu brzinu.

Just with the helmet, integral helmet,

Samo s kacigom, integralnom kacigom,

nije problem disati.

it's really no problem to breathe.

BG: Opišite za mene opremu pošto ste ju donijeli.

BG: Describe for me the equipment, since you have it here.

So Breitling's four engines.

Dakle, četiri Breitlingova motora.

YR: Yeah, two-meter span.

YR: Da, raspon dva metra.

Ultra-stable profile.

Ultrastabilan profil.

Four little engines,

Četiri mala motora,

22 kilos thrust each,

22 kilograma potiska svaki, turbine

turbines, working with kerosene.

koje rade s kerozinom.

Kopče, padobran.

Harness, parachute.

My only instruments are an altimeter and time.

Moji jedini instrumenti su visinomjer i vrijeme.

Znam da imam goriva za otprilike osam minuta.

I know I have about eight minutes fuel.

Samo provjerite prije nego ga potrošite.

So I just check before it's finished.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I da, to je sve.

And yeah, that's all.

Two parachutes.

Dva padobrana.

That means, if I have a problem with the first one I pull,

To znači da ako imam problem

s prvim koji povučem,

još uvijek imam mogućnost

I still have the possibility to open the second one.

otvoriti drugi.

I ovo je moj život.

And this is my life.

That's the real important thing about safety.

To je stvarno važna stvar kod sigurnosti.

Koristio sam to

I did use that during these last 15 years

ovih zadnjih petnaest godina

about 20 times.

otprilike 20 puta --

Never with that type of wing, but at the beginning.

nikad s tom vrstom krila, ali na početku.

I can release my wing

Mogu otpustiti svoje krilo

when I am in a spin or unstable.

kada se okrećem ili sam nestabilan.

BG: Vidjeli smo prelazak Gibraltarske brazde 2009.

BG: We saw the 2009 crossing of the Gibraltar Strait

where you lost control

gdje ste izgubili kontrolu

and then you dived down into the clouds

i onda ste zaronili u oblake

i u ocean.

and in the ocean.

So that was one of those cases where you let the wings go, right?

Dakle to je bio jedan od tih slučajeva, gdje ste pustili krila, zar ne?

YR: Da, pokušao sam u oblacima,

YR: Yeah. I did try in the clouds,

but you lose orientation completely.

ali gubite orijentaciju u potpunosti..

So I did try to take, again,

Tako da sam pokušao ponovno

a climb altitude.

započeti uspinjanje.

I thought, okay, I will go out.

Pomislio sam, u redu, idem van.

But most probably, I did something like that.

Ali najvjerojatnije sam učinio nešto ovakvo.

(Laughter)

BG: Something that is not very safe, the image.

BG: Nešto što nije jako sigurno po prikazu.

YR: You feel great, but --

YR: Osjećate se odlično,

ali nemate pravu visinu.

(Laughter)

But you have not the right altitude.

Tako da je sljedeća stvar koju sam vidio samo plavo.

So the next thing I saw was just blue.

It was the sea.

To je bilo more.

I have also an audible altimeter.

Imam i zvučni visinomjer.

Tako da sam bio na minimalnoj visini

So I was at my minimum altitude

in that vector -- fast --

u tom vektoru -- brzo --

so I pulled that.

pa sam povukao to.

And then I did open my chute.

I onda sam otvorio svoj padobran.

BG: So the wings have their own parachute, and you have your two parachutes.

BG: Dakle krilo ima svoj padobran, a vi dva padobrana.

YR: Exactly. There is a rescue parachute for the wing

YR: Tako je. Postoji padobran za krilo

for two reasons:

iz dva razloga:

so I can repair it afterward

da ga mogu popraviti nakon toga

and especially so nobody takes that, just on his head.

i naravno da nikome ovo ne padne na glavu.

BG: Vidim. Možda da dođete ovdje.

BG: I see. Maybe come back here.

This is risky stuff indeed.

Ovo je stvarno riskantna stvar.

Ljudi su poginuli pokušavajući nešto ovakvo.

People have died trying to do this kind of thing.

I vi ne izgledate kao lud tip, vi ste Švicarski pilot aviona,

And you don't look like a crazy guy; you're a Swiss airline pilot,

tako da ste organiziran tip.

so you're rather a checklist kind of guy.

I assume you have standards.

Pretpostavljam da imate standarde.

YR: Yeah. I have no checklist for that.

YR: Da, nemam popis za to.

(Laughter)

BG: Nemojmo reći vašem poslodavcu.

BG: Let's not tell your employer.

(Laughter)

YR: Ne, to su zapravo dva svijeta.

YR: No, that's really two worlds.

Civil aviation is something that we know very well.

Civilna avijacija je nešto što znamo jako dobro.

Imamo stotinu godina iskustva.

We have a hundred years of experience.

And you can adapt really precisely.

I možete se prilagoditi zaista precizno.

S tim,

With that, I have to adapt to something new.

moram se prilagoditi nečem novom.

That means improvise.

To znači improvizaciju.

So it's really a play between these two approaches.

Tako da je to samo igra između ova dva pristupa.

Something that I know very well, these principles.

Nešto što znam jako dobro --

ova načela, na primjer,

For example, we have two engines on an Airbus;

imam dva motora na Airbusu;

sa samo jednim motorom, možete letjeti.

with only one engine, you can fly it.

Tako da plan B, uvijek plan B.

So plan B, always a plan B.

U borbenom avionu, imate izbacujuće sjedalo.

In a fighter, you have an ejection seat.

That's my ejection seat.

To je moje izbacujuće sjedalo.

Tako da imam pristup profesionalnog pilota

So I have the approach of a professional pilot

s poštovanjem pionira, početnika

with the respect of a pioneer

ispred Majke Prirode.

in front of Mother Nature.

BG: It's well said.

BG: Dobro rečeno, zaista dobro rečeno.

What happens if one of the engines stops?

Što se događa ako jedan motor prestane raditi?

YR: I do a roll.

YR: Zakotrljam se.

And then I stabilize,

I onda se stabiliziram,

i prema mojoj visini,

and according to my altitude, I continue on two or three engines.

nastavljam na dva ili tri motora.

Nekad je moguće --

It's sometimes possible.

It's quite complicated to explain,

komplicirano je za objasniti --

ali prema režimu u kojem sam bio,

but according to which regime I was,

I can continue on two

mogu nastaviti na dva

and try to get a nice place to land, and then I open my parachute.

i naći sigurno mjesto za sletjeti, i onda otvaram padobran.

BG: So the beginning of the flight

BR: Na početku leta

is actually you jump off a plane or a helicopter,

skačete iz aviona ili helikoptera,

and you go on a dive and accelerate the engines,

i ponirete i ubrzavate motore,

and then you basically take off mid-air somewhere.

i onda u biti poletite negdje u sred zraka.

And then the landing, as we have seen,

I onda slijetanje, kao što smo vidjeli,

arriving on this side of the Channel,

stižete na ovu stranu kanala,

je putem padobrana.

is through a parachute.

So just as a curiosity,

Samo iz znatiželje,

where did you land when you flew over the Grand Canyon?

gdje ste sletjeli kad ste letjeli preko Grand Canyona?

Jeste li sletjeli na rub, ili na dno?

Did you land on the rim, down at the bottom?

YR: It was down on the bottom.

YR: Sletio sam na dno.

And I came back afterward on the sled of the helicopter back.

I vratio sam se nakon toga

na saonici helikoptera.

But it was too stony and full of cactus on top.

Ali bilo je prekamenito i puno kaktusa na vrhu.

(Laughter)

BG: Točno zbog toga sam vas pitao pitanje.

BG: That's exactly why I asked the question.

YR: I struje su također čudne tamo.

YR: And also, the currents are quite funny there.

There is big thermal activity,

Postoji velika termalna aktivnost,

big difference in altitude also.

velika razlika u visini također.

So it was much safer for me to land at the bottom.

Tako da je za mene bilo puno sigurnije sletjeti na dnu.

BG: Dakle sada, sigurno puno ljudi u publici

BG: I think that right now, many people are asking,

"When are you developing a double-seater

se pita, "U redu, kada razvijate dvosjed

so they can fly with you?"

da mogu letjeti s vama?"

YR: I have a standard answer.

YR: Imam standardni odgovor.

Have you ever seen tandem birds?

Jeste li ikad vidjeli tandem ptice?

(Laughter)

BG: Savršen odgovor.

BG: Perfect answer.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

(Applause ends)

BG: Yves, one last question.

Yves, jedno zadnje pitanje.

What's next for you? What's next for Jetman?

Što je sljedeće za tebe? Što je sljedeće za Jetmana?

YR: First, to instruct a younger guy.

YR: Prvo, da podučim nekog mlađeg.

I want to share it, to do formation flights.

Želim to podijeliti,

kako bismo radili formacijske letove.

And I plan to start from a cliff,

I planiram početi s litice,

like catapulted from a cliff.

katapultirajući se s litice.

BG: So instead of jumping off a plane, yes?

BG: Dakle, umjesto skakanja iz aviona, zar ne?

YR: Yes, with the final goal to take off, but with initial speed.

YR: Da, s posljednjim ciljem poljetanja,

ali s inicijalnom brzinom.

Really, I go step by step.

Stvarno, idem korak po korak.

It seems a little bit crazy, but it's not.

Čini se pomalo ludo,

ali nije.

It's possible to start already now, it's just too dangerous.

Već sada je moguće početi, samo je preopasno.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Thanks to the increasing technology, better technology,

Zahvaljujući rastućoj tehnologiji, boljoj tehnologiji,

bit će sigurno.

it will be safe.

I nadam se da će biti za sve.

And I hope it will be for everybody.

BG: Yves, hvala ti puno. Yves Rossy.

BG: Yves, thank you very much. Yves Rossy.

(Pljesak)

(Applause)
