BEX, Switzerland -- Who needs a plane when you have your own jet-powered wings?

Swiss pilot and extreme sports enthusiast Yves Rossy has spent years developing his 8-foot-long wings that are powered by four jet turbines. And he finally got to show them off on Wednesday.

There were gasps and cheers from a crowd on a Swiss mountain as Rossy, who calls himself "Fusion Man," stepped from a plane at 8,000 feet.

After gliding for a while, he fired up the four engines and flew. Rossy spent all of five minutes turning figure eights and soaring high above the Alps before his final trick, a 360-degree roll which he said was meant "to impress the girls."
