Man Crosses English Channel With Jetpack
Yves “Fusion Man” Rossy crossed the English Channel last Friday, going from England to France with a jetpack strapped to his back. Believe it or not, he is the first person to do this. 49 year old Rossy is a pilot who normally flies large airliners for a living.
The jetpack was powered by four kerosene burning jet turbines attached to a wing.
