Swiss adventurer Yves Rossy successfully flew 22 miles to cross the English Channel using his homemade jet-propelled wing today.

He is the first man to ever perform such a feat. The trip traced the route of French aviator Louis Bleriot who was the first person to ever cross the Channel in an airplane 99 years ago.
