Yves RossyA passion for detailIn 2006 Swiss pilot Yves Rossy became the first man in history to fly with a jet-powered wing, and remains the only person to have done so. He had nurtured a desire to develop a personal flying machine since he became marooned in a tree when he was only a child. In September 2008, Rossy made history when he crossed the channel 99 years after Frenchman Louis Blériot had pioneered the crossing in his monoplane. |
