Zapata's board is propelled by five small jet engines, and after he stopped halfway to refuel his board on a boat, Reuters reports that he was able to cross the Channel and land in a little more than 20 minutes.

French news outlet Le Monde shared a two-minute video of Zapata taking off and flying through the air past onlookers and over the water.

During his Aug. 4 flight, Zapata is said to have traveled 35 kilometers. He took off in Sangatte, France, and landed in Saint Margaret’s Bay in Dover, England.

"For the last five to six kilometers I just really enjoyed it," Zapata told reporters when he landed. "Whether this is a historic event or not, I’m not the one to decide that, time will tell.

"We made a machine three years ago... and now we’ve crossed the Channel, it’s crazy," Zapata, who is also working on creating a flying car, said.
