Reffet, equipped with a carbon fiber wing powered by four mini jet engines, flew to 1,800 meters above sea level.
After demonstrating control by flying five meters above the sea and making small turns, he made his main flight.
Rising 100 meters every eight seconds, he finished the three-minute flight with a loop before opening his parachute and dropping back to earth.
