Jetman set for Channel flight
Sep 23 - Daredevil Swiss pilot to risk life and limb in bid to fly from France to England using a single, jet-propelled wing on his back.
Yves Rossy is hoping to become the first person in history to fly the English Channel using his special wing. Tracing the same route as French aviator Louis Bleriot who was the first to fly the Channel 99 years ago, Rossy will leap from an airborne plane and fire up his jet-propelled wing.
With the extra weight of mounted cameras and the unpredictable weather of the English Channel Rossy will face his biggest challenge to date.
