Bertrand Piccard Hang Gliding (Ushuaïa TV Documentary)

A founder member of the Swiss Hang Gliding Federation, Bertrand Piccard quickly became well-known in air-show circles, making numerous demonstration flights, usually after dropping from a hot-air balloon. He even became the European Aerobatic Champion in 1985. Watch Ushuaïa's documentary about it!

Bertrand Piccard tackles challenges that others consider impossible. He completed the first ever non-stop round-the-world flight in a balloon, and is the initiator, chairman and Pilot of the “Solar Impulse” project: a solar airplane which is going to travel around the world in 2015 without a single drop of fuel. Psychiatrist, he draws from his hypnosis training and his interest in Eastern philosophies a different look that puts the human being and their quality of life in the foreground.
