Winged Man to Fly Across English Channel

An extreme sports fanatic is planning to become the first
man to fly unaided across the English Channel with the help of a winged
suit.

Felix Baumgartner’s audacious attempt will see him jump from a plane at
30,000ft, and then navigating over the seas below.

The Austrian will be wearing a specially-adapted suit with a wing-like
carbon fibre fin attached to his back which should let him glide through
the air.
