Yves Rossy Jet Wing

Unfortunately the inter-continental world record attempt by Yves Rossy using his unique 'jet wing' has failed.

Rossy was due to fly from Morocco (Africa)  to Spain (Europe)  using his much publicised jet wing.

His flight was due to be between Morocco and the Costa de la Luz, renowned for its Levante winds (strong winds) and famous for attracting wind sport enthusiasts like wind-surfers and kite-surfers.

He was around 11 minutes in to the flight before he had to ditch in the Atlantic Ocean which separates the two continents and was rescued by the coastguard.

he is on his way to hospital for a check-up and will give a press conference as soon as possible to explain what went wrong.
