El Birdman moderno: Fusionman

No es un ave, no es un avión, tampoco es superman.

Se trata de Yves Rossy que hoy voló con unas alas-jet sobre el canal Inglés. Conocido como "Fusionman," Rossy busca volar la ruta del piloto francés Louis Blériot hace 99 años cuando realizó un vuelo por el canal inglés en un avión.

La nota de BBC aquí:
A Swiss man has become the first person to fly solo across the English Channel using a single jet-propelled wing.
Yves Rossy landed safely after the 22-mile (35.4 km) flight from Calais to Dover, which had been twice postponed this week because of bad weather.
The former military pilot took less than 10 minutes to complete the crossing and parachute to the ground.
The 49-year-old flew on a plane to more than 8,200ft (2,500m), ignited jets on a wing on his back, and jumped out.
Yves Rossy aimed to reach speeds of 125mph Mr Rossy had hoped to reach speeds of 125mph.
