Superman is flying over Dubai. His cape billows in the warm, gentle breeze and below him the desert landscape stretches out as flat as the board it actually isSuperman is plastic, about four inches tall and currently being manoeuvred around by Yves Rossy, who, in one particular way but perhaps not many others, is the full-scale, living embodiment of the Man of Steel. He is Jetman.A name that, appropriately enough, harks back to the glory days of superheroes, the dream of flight, the right stuff, of iron-jawed, steely-eyed men looking off to the sunset before strapping in to touch the void, to go beyond, to explore new frontiers. And, well, with his carbon wing and quad jets, there"s never been anything quite like the Jetman before.This feature was originally published in the March 2016 issue of Top Gear magazine.
