French inventor Franky Zapata successfully flew from France to England on an airborne flyboard, Sunday, August 4. The 40-year-old completed the 35 kilometer journey in under a half hour. This was Zapata’s second attempt to cross the English Channel, the first attempt was cut short after Zapata collided with the refueling boat minutes into the flight. Looking like a superhero, Franky Zapata successfully completed the famed 35-kilometer (22-mile) journey in just 22 minutes Sunday morning, reaching speeds of up to 177 kilometers per hour (110 mph) on the flyboard that has made him a French household name. Propelled by a power pack full of kerosene, Zapata set off from Sangatte in France's Pas de Calais region and landed in St. Margaret's Bay, beyond the white cliffs of Dover, in southeast England. He stopped only once, on the British side, to refuel his futuristic invention from a boat in the choppy waters. Origin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GgYLdf1ago&feature=youtu.be

Time compressed transit through the Panama Canal. Note the use of the rail guidance system instead of the Tugs used in the newer canal.

The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) has released a new video illustration of the lock arrangements and locking procedures for transiting the New Panama Canal. The system will rely on tugboats for positioning within locks – unlike the locomotive system for the existing canal facilities – and will use each ships’ crew and mooring winches to handle lines.
