After a failed attempt at the end of July, French inventor Franky Zapata successfully crossed the English Channel on his Flyboard Air, a jet-powered hoverboard, on August 4. Zapata departed from Sangatte, France and arrived in Dover, England 22 minutes later, reaching speeds of up to 106 miles per hour during the 22-mile trip. Zapata said the strong winds in the Channel had posed one of the biggest challenges, explaining his technique of bending into gusts. He said there was also a risk of being destabilized if the wind died down too quickly.
