Swiss inventor Yves Rossy wasn't just dreaming when he tried to fly. He jumped from a plane in Switzerland with his homemade device on his back and took flight. His five-minute airstream was the first public demonstration of his personal flying device which took him five years to create and by all accounts it was a huge success. He was able to fly, steer and land. He plans to fly over the English Channel. Maybe in the not to distant future we'll all be flying and hopefully it will get great gas mileage!
