Right around the time they did the Stealth?

There is only so many ways to arrange wingsuit area around a human form.

There is only so many ways to arrange wingsuit area around a human form and sometimes the impressions of a designer coming from something what already exist

We tested lots of different sizes and this one works best . . . but not good enough.

That was in 2006 ?

its the Thunderbird till further notice :-)

Ya know, given that Spot and I are the resident Native American birds, I think we should each get a copy of the suit as repatriations for the unauthorized use of our cultural IP/TradeMarks.

What do you think Spot?

He's being sarcastic.

There is no 'new' suits left to make. Just new to the manufacturer.

I beg to differ, there will always be new suits, new canopy's and new electronics, it will never end,

and to those that said its been done before, this design has [to my knowledge] never been done before, the way the long part of the wing joins to the short part of the wing is unique,

But in defense of the above statement It has been done in airplane wings,

Life is a series of wonderful opportunities,
brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.

I'm not Native American, I'm "indigenous." Or "Aboriginal." Or maybe "First American" is the proper term this week (Sorry political correctedness on the brain at the moment due to some shenanigans in DC.)

Yes, YES! I believe we own the original trademark, slogan mark, patent, and copyright for anything with T-Bird or Thunderbird in it.

I'll take mine in Blue/Yellow, please? You already have my measurements.

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Heres another angle on your new Tbird Spot, colors arent perfect, but youd get an idea~

How similar is this leg wing to a raptors?

Tony responded to my question about this up thread with this:

The leg wing is wider and shorter than the Raptor

Older than you, I promise. Almost as old as Airtwardo. I remember when wingsuits were made of whalebone. Tony wishes he looked as good as me.

How come the arm wings are so small?

its my gravity engine actually... very high HP. When i farted the dyno broke so I i cant give you the actual performance numbers~


On another note, the arm wings arent really small, they actually move the moment of thrust inboard, while reducing the drag which is induced by the trailing edge of the armwing, due to moving the attachment point from the outboard of the armwing to about the midpoint, so when you max the suit it induces less drag than other suits. if that didnt make any sense, think about it.. lol mornin all..

I am sure it is a lot easier on the arms as well. Both belly and back. I bet it is really easy on the back. You don't have to shove down huge arm wings. Will there be demos of the "T-Bird" (DSE copyright pending), available at F&D?

Don't you want more drag when flying a wingsuit so you could get more lift?

If that's true, Scotty is a "drag King."

Drag

The good thing about this suit is that its balance is different. As far as having lesser drag, sure it will have lesser drag than a suit of the same area and balance that a suit with a planform like the other Tony suits(other than the SM-1 XS) due to flying a shallower angle.

The idea of making the wings to match the rig thickness was done by the JiiWings guys on their GS1. Unfortunately, adding thickness to reduce drag is not a good idea.

I studied aeronautics for 4 years.

What's a "moment of thrust"?

For that matter, how does a wingsuit generate thrust?

Being tall and thin, I'm considering "downsizing" from my Blade to something like a Phantom II so I could fly more efficiently, especially in flocks.

The "T-Bird" might be the size/balance I'm looking for.

Sorry I probably missunderstood, what I wanted to say is: don't you want bigger armwings so the more surface - the more lift, you stay longer in the air, it's really weird looking at this particular WS and seeing how big the legwing and overall quite big and bulky WS, but the armwings are so tiny..
