Wingsuit flying has been a fascination of many aviators, and its history can be traced to 1817 when Leonardo Da Vinci's workbook containing a drawing of a webbed flying craft was discovered. Today the sport has evolved, and since 2005 wingsuit flying has grown massively in popularity and level of safety. The first wingsuit jumps were known as Proxy Flying," which were initially a derivative of the standard BASE jump, a widely popular extreme sport. Today there exist numerous local and international competitions that fans of the sport can spectate and participate in.

Wingsuit sports are governed by the World Air Sports Federation (FAI); the most significant competitions that the FAI formally recognizes are the Wingsuit Performance Flying Cup and the Wingsuit Acrobatic Cup. The Performance Cup is split between 3 events; time, distance, and speed, and the Acrobatic Cup focuses mainly on team competition with an aerial display to showcase their flying skills. In this event, the flyers have a chance to creatively perform a series of loops, rolls, transitions, and docks to impress the judges.

To safely go wingsuit flying, you need to have a specifically designed suit. Wingsuits come in different levels depending on your skill, including beginner, intermediate, and expert. The suits are made of durable and stretchy fabrics such as nylon, which led to solid flight suits that can withstand the intense wind resistance encountered at high descent velocities. You also need a helmet and parachute to help ensure safety while wingsuit flying.

BASE jumpers tempt fate every time they leap off a cliff, bridge, or building. But over the past few years, an even more dangerous variation of this extreme sport has skyrocketed in popularity. Wingsuit pilots don inflatable, webbed suits that let them snake through valleys, navigate rock crevasses, and hit targets like balloons. It has become one of the most lethal sports on Earth. Last year, at least 24 people died wingsuit BASE jumping.

Wingsuits are already going to places I never believed possible. Every year they come up with something that goes a little further, a little faster. I don't know when it happened, but at some point I became the old conservative guy. I love my life and family. I still wingsuit fly; I'm just backing off. I don't need to be five feet from things. I can be 20 feet away.

The video opens with him stepping into a wingsuit. He has dark hair, a sleeve tattoo, and a Hollywood-style beard. He speaks in German. He gives the finger to the camera and grins. He zips up his suit, flashing more smiles with a sort of nervous or excited energy, the kind you might associate with a child opening a birthday gift.

BASE jumping, without the wingsuit qualifier, is simply the act of parachuting from fixed objects, as opposed to planes. Wingsuit BASE jumping takes the act of BASE jumping to an entirely different level, one in which the stakes are as high, and the margins are as thin, as the rewards are unforgettable.

In 2009, Dean Potter set the world record for wingsuit BASE jumping off the Eiger in Switzerland. Potter flew over 9,000 vertical feet and 3.4 miles forward in horizontal distance. He died, along with Graham Hunt, while wingsuit BASE jumping in Yosemite in May 2015.

If wingsuits are to blame for the growing death toll, as Webb speculates, the numbers certainly support this thesis. In 2016, 20 of the 31 BASE deaths involved a wingsuit. If you add in deaths that involved a tracking suit, which you may think of as an entry-level training wingsuit, that number jumps to 27 out of 31.

From as early as I can remember, I had flying dreams. Once, at age 10, I cut up a cardboard box and fashioned wings, which I then strapped to my arms with pipe cleaners. I took my creation to a porch on the second story of my house in Dobbs Ferry, New York. As I stood atop the railing, cardboard wings lashed to my arms, I recall my seven-year-old sister standing in the grass beneath, pleading and crying at the sight of what I was about to do. I vividly recall a sense of confidence that my design was foolproof; I was certain that when I jumped, flight would ensue, just as in my dreams.

In February 1912, a tailor named Franz Reichelt stitched himself a burlap wingsuit/parachute hybrid costume and jumped from the top of the 984-foot Eiffel tower. He crashed so hard that he put a hole into the frozen turf below.

Kuosma created an instructor program that offered wingsuit education to experienced skydivers with more than 200 jumps. At first, most skydivers thought wingsuits were really just death suits, but The Original soon proved otherwise.

Flying a wingsuit out of a plane at 20,000 feet offers little perspective. The sensation of speed and flight are only mildly augmented at that altitude. If the dream was the true and raw perception of flight, then somehow wingsuits needed to be flown closer to objects.

Today, Pecnik is manufacturing wingsuits for his new company, Phoenix-Fly. He describes how BASE jumping was, at one point, much more under the radar. Finding mentors was more challenging, and most BASE jumpers who got into the sport had a vast skydiving background.

I spent this past weekend compiling the best wingsuit clips I could find on YouTube and putting all of them into one sweet vid ? There are some amazing talents in this video, including Jeb Corliss, Jokke Summer and Espin Fadnes. For the uninitiated,

Wingsuit flying is the sport of flying the human body through the air using a special jumpsuit, called a wingsuit, which adds surface area to the human body to enable a significant increase in lift. Modern wingsuit designs create the surface area with fabric between the legs and under the arms. A wingsuit may be referred to as a birdman suit or squirrel suit. A wingsuit flight ends with a parachute opening, so a wingsuit can be flown from any point that provides sufficient altitude to glide through the air, such as skydiving aircraft or BASE jumping exit points, and to allow a parachute to deploy. The wingsuit flier wears parachute equipment designed for skydiving or BASE jumping. The flier deploys the parachute at a planned altitude and unzips the arm wings, if necessary, so they can reach up to the control toggles and fly to a normal parachute landing. [Source: Wikipedia]

In 2009, UK's Channel 4 television documentary Daredevils: The Human Bird focused on explaining Corliss's daredevil attitude in facing his fears and culminated in a dramatic leap in a wingsuit from a helicopter 180 meters (600 feet) over the Matterhorn with a flight that brought him within a meter or so (several feet) of the summit which he maintained down the entire 900 meter (3,000-foot) descent off the ridge.

On September 28, 2013, Corliss made a jump called the "flying dagger". He jumped out of a helicopter wearing a wingsuit and then flew through a narrow "crack" in Mount Jianglang in China. The fissure is approximately 18 meter (60 feet) across at the top, 4,5 meter (15 feet) across at the bottom, and over 270 meter (900 feet) tall. After safely completing the jump, Corliss was quoted saying that it was "...the single gnarliest thing I've ever done..." and "I have never experienced anything so hardcore. Period. I have not been that scared in my life. It was so powerful and overwhelming. I started crying..."[17]

French wingsuit flyers recently completed an unbelievable stunt following a B.A.S.E. jump from the top of the Jungfrau mountain in Switzerland. Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet, known as the Soul Flyers, caught up with and flew into a plane in mid-air.

Skydivers fall at around 200kph and can fly horizontally at between 50 to 100kph. The addition of a wingsuit slows the rate of fall to between 80 and 100kph and fly at 100 to 150kph. Essentially the suit improves the glide ratio or ratio of horizontal distance travelled in relation to height. Wingsuit glide-ratios are typically 2.5:1. These numbers indicate the forward distance flown (2.5m) for every meter of altitude lost (1m). So, where a skydiver will freefall for 9000ft or 3km, more or less straight down, wingsuit will convert that 3km of freefall into 7.5km of horizontal movement, flight.

A wingsuit pilot manipulates the shape of his body to create the desired amount of lift and drag. With body shape manipulation and by choosing the design characteristics of the wingsuit, a pilot can alter both his forward speed and fall rate. The pilot manipulates these flight characteristics by changing the shape of his torso, arching or bending at the shoulders, hips and knees and by changing the angle of attack in which the wingsuit flies.

1. Learn to skydive first. In South Africa you need to have a minimum of 300 jumps within two years under your belt before you can qualify to don a wingsuit. A good instructor will assess your ability before allowing you to progress.

The leader of the Fokker Formation saw the Spads at aboutthe same moment I did. I saw him dip his wings and stick down his nose.Immediately the six Fokkers began a headlong pique directly down at the Spads.Almost like one of the formation I followed suit.

Known widely as one of the best pilots in space, and as a premier small-unit tactician, Bryan brings everything to the fight, taking special care to bring his team home no matter the cost to him. At Armory One he jumped into the first available mobile suit, an old GAT-02J Joint Dagger. Once the Archangel reached Earth, he took over as the pilot of the ZGMF-X54S Glory Gundam. Following the Battle of Armory One and Durandal's speech revealing LOGOS to the world, he was reassigned to the brand new JMW-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam. 2b1af7f3a8
