Swiss pilot Yves Rossy has successfully completed his solo flight across the English Channel using his single, jet-propelled wing. After a two-day delay due to bad weather, Rossy achieved his ambition and has written himself into aviation history. With a light wind on his back he reached the iconic White Cliffs of Dover in 13 minutes covering the 35 kilometre trip at an average speed of 200 kilometres per hour.
