Jetpack Fails To Make First Intercontinental Flight
By Evan Ackerman
When it comes to the future, I don’t care that much about flying cars… Just get me a jetpack. We’ve been following Yves Rossy’s flying jet wing for about a year, and on Wednesday, he tried to fly from Europe to Africa across the straits of Gibraltar, a distance of about 23 miles.
He, um, didn’t quite make it, suffering a “wing malfunction” (whatever that means) just minutes into the flight (he himself was fine):
Yeah, so that last part kinda sucks, but the first part looks incredibly awesome. I still want one.
