French pilot, Bruno Vezzoli, managed to cross the English Channel in a flying car.

The single-seat dune buggy - named Pegasus - made the 36-mile journey from an abandoned runway in France, landing in Dover, England. The car was fitted with a propeller and parachute which helped it fly through the air.

It can reach a maximum speed of 80 kilometres (49.7 miles) an hour at an altitude of 3,000 metres.
