My guess: in 10 years we'll have one more brand of suit (no different than the others) to argue about on the internet.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lurch 0 #6 May 4, 2011 I'll have one that does dishes! It'll be made of internet! Runs on kryptonite! And yes, it'll have baling wire and carbonfuckingfiber, plus a nifty new flavor crystal formula with all the chocolaty goodness and twice the calories. -BLive and learn... or die, and teach by example.

The technology will blow us away. Who knows?... wingsuits may even have their very own spar by then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mchamp 1 #10 May 5, 2011 I remember seeing some sort of material in a science forum somewhere that becomes firm when charged with electrostatic pulse or sth ridiculous. To better visualize think of a limp rope but with a push of a button or sth becomes stiff as wood. Now apply that to the wings of the suit along with some curvature now the pilot won't be as fatigued when BASE jumping and maintaining full flight when desired. So in that conclusion I foresee future wingsuits implemented with this device/material with the push of a button somehow?

lurch 0 #18 May 5, 2011 Oh shit... I left my S-Bird alone with the Hardcase. I think that means I'll find a HardBird in my gearbag one of these days...

Trae 1 #21 May 8, 2011 in reply to "..... I foresee future wingsuits implemented with this device/material with the push of a button somehow? " ...................... Been wondering if ram-air wingsuits would benefit from pilot-controllable variable inlets that would allow adjustment of the inlet without closing the wings. ie by squeezing a hand operated lever to open them up a bit., or close them a bit to drop internal pressure. Not sure if there would be a practical use for this idea, might be handy in a flare to open the inlets up a bit to maintain pressure at the lowering speed.?? ... future wingsuits may allow us to alter suit pressure on the fly.
