Descripción In 2003 Felix Baumgartner became the first man to fly across the English Channel as a bird, from England to France, only in a specially-designed aerodynamic suit to protect him from the extreme cold, with a breathing apparatus and a wing of carbon fibre, 1.80 metre long. The mission of the Austrian daredevil was called 'Icarus 2', the name of the mythical Icarus who flew too close to the sun and melted the wax of his wings. Baumgartner started his 35 km journey from 9,000 metres over the English port of Dover and ended it at 1,000 metres above the French coast Cape Blanc-Nez, near Calais, where he activated his parachute.
