A British airline pilot says he hopes to become the world's first rocketman by the end of the year.


Over the past four years, Stuart Ross has been working hard to fly. He has already become the first European to lift off during a tethered flight - but he's set a higher goal for himself, and hopes to be fully airborne by the end of the year. Ross 'flies' using his own Rocketbelt, one of only a few that have ever been made.
