The Future of Flight

This week something interesting caught my eye, a really great idea, namely, a personal jet wing. Could this be the future of air travel? Who knows. The inventor of this piece of engineering, Yves Rossy, flew his creation on a maiden flight on May 15, 2008 after spending five years creating his machine. However, Rossy didn’t stop there. On September 26, 2008, Yves Rossy traveled 22 miles across the English Channel on his homemade jet wing, tracing the route that Frenchman Louis Bleriot followed in 1909 when he became the first man to cross the channel on an airplane. I’m truly amazed that such creation was homemade and it flies so well.
