Right from the early 17th century, man has invented various forms of flying machines, some have succeeded and the rest ended up in crashes. Recently Yves Rossy a.k.a. Fusionman successfully crossed the English Channel, the first man to do so with a carbon based jet-propelled wing. Rossy was dropped from a plane at 8,200 feet and flew 22-miles in under 10 minutes from Calais to Dover. Check out the video after the jump for a peek into the real deal!
