Aerial Sports

Wingsuite Flying The Sport Wingsuit Flying is the most extreme evolution of human flight, utilizing a specialized “squirrel suit” that increases the surface area of the human body to generate lift. This allows pilots to convert vertical descent into horizontal glide, reaching speeds of over 100mph. In 2026, the sport is split between Performance (judged on glide ratio, speed, and time) and Acrobatics (judged on maneuvers performed by a team). The 2026 season culminates at the 6th FAI World Wingsuit Flying Championships (October 8–15, 2026) (https://usparachuteteam.org/Teams/Wingsuit-Flying). For the global market, it represents the absolute pinnacle of aerodynamic engineering and athlete mental discipline.
