COBRA CLAW
 |
| A Swiss adventurer using a jet-propelled wing has flown across the English Channel from France in less than 10 minutes. A May 14, 2008 file photo shows Switzerland's Yves Rossy flying with a jet-propelled single wing over the Alps in Bex, Switzerland. Weather permitting, Rossy will leap from a plane more than 2,500 meters (2,700 yards) off the ground, fire up his jets and try to make the 35-kilometer (22-mile) from Calais in France to Dover in England in about 12 minutes on Thursday, Sept. 25, 2008, according to a statement put out by his organizers. Yves Rossy landed safely in a field near Dover on Friday. He leapt from a plane at an altitude of more than 8,800 feet, fired up his jets and made the 22-mile trip from Calais, France, to Dover, England. |
