quote: An Austrian mechanic has become the first person to fly across the English Channel without the benefit of an aircraft. He glided from England to France, wearing only a special suit, in just 14 minutes.
How high can this man jump?
quote:He started his 35km, high-speed flight by jumping from a Skyvan aircraft and reached more than 200km/h in an aerodynamic suit fitted with a 1.8m carbon-fibre wing.
Oh. Without benefit of an aircraft, excepting the original 35 km climb. That makes more sense.
