Man flies with his grandfather’s wings

The great historical moment mankind has always dreamed of finally happened: man can fly! A video spread on the Internet shows us a Dutch engineer frantically slapping his arms where he had attached a pair of huge wings – according to him built by the plans of his grandfather – and flying a few dozens of meters. But, beyond the necessity of having motorized aid for lifting and landing, the man was so exhausted after this short distance, that despite his great satisfaction at the end, we consider this great historic achievement as the most useless of all time.
