Felix Baumgartner's wings

Recommended Posts

Please whwre can I find more information about the rigid gliding wings that Felix Baumgartner used to glide from Dover to near Calais on 31 July 2003?

Please what is the correct forum for such a discussion?

I am very sorry if I broke any of dropzone's rules raising this subject.

You could do a search here on the numerous threads about his stunt.

This will get you started.

As to the exact details of the wings, I doubt you'll be able to find much since Felix doesn't seem interested in sharing any of the information beyond what he already has given the press.

It was thought that Felix was jumping a "real" SkyRay, but that is not the case. The two that he has are either copies or modified versions of two SkyRays that the German company that builds them sold some time ago to RedBull. You can read all about it in the wingsuit forum.
