Franky Zapata on his jet-powered “flyboard” flies past the belfry of the city hall of Calais (C) after he took off from Sangatte, northern France, on August 4, 2019, during his attempt to fly across the 35-kilometre (22-mile) Channel crossing in 20 minutes, while keeping an average speed of 140 kilometres an hour (87 mph) at a height of 15-20 metres (50-65 feet) above the sea. Frenchman who has spent years developing a jet-powered hoverboard will again try to zoom across the English Channel on August 4, after a first attempt last month was cut short when a botched refuelling attempt sent him into the water.
