"Fusion Man" makes historic Channel flight

Fusion Man makes historic Channel flight | International | Reuters

LONDON (Reuters) - Swiss adventurer Yves Rossy flew from England to France Friday propelled by a jetpack strapped to his back -- the first person to cross the English Channel in such a way.

Rossy, a pilot who normally flies an Airbus airliner, crossed the 22 miles between Calais and Dover at speeds of up to 120 mph in 13 minutes, his spokesman said.

Fusion Man is a pimp.

I wonder how long until they become efficient enough to buy for recreational purposes.
