The performance of the Swiss pilot Yves Rossy has been recognized to the most popular television series. Broadcast in prime time in the United States the 5th January on CBS in front of more than 21 millions of television viewers, the episode of NCIS entitled “Ignition” proposes an investigation on the world of “jetpack”, very small-sized aircrafts.

In this episode, the agent Timothy McGee, fascinated by the subject, explains to his colleague Abby the recent progress in motorized human flight, quoting in the 8th minute and 40 seconds Yves Rossy and his jet-propelled wing. Jetman gain a new recognition!
