Fantastic video and great lecture! Learned so much about Wingsuit, which seems to apply to airplane as well. At around 10:36, the AOA = 65 not 75, a good test to see whether we, the students, are paying attention (to the math) or sleeping in the class :)

I'm watching in case I'm recruited by the NSA for a secret mission and have to escape in the Alps.

Thank you!

What if I spiral my speed? Then land? with body armour lmfao Which would just be like, Kevlar layers

Three Parachutes is good enough to survive even if all three fail. What happens when I jump out holding a flag that's FUUUUCKKKIIINNNGGGGGG MASSIIIVVVEEE? Or a Mile long piece of 3 foot wide fabric? Does it really have to be a parachute? can we make fabric, Absorb wind? Or even, Repel wind? Or in other words, Increase or decrese the resistance of wind with electricity? So I can change the viscosity of wind? Make it harder or easier to flow through? Or even absorb it as a source of power? The better the tech the more efficient the tech, the more a gust of wind, will be absorbed into you, heating you, instead of Cooling you to much Or Cooling you, instead of heating you to much MmM? Or how about, creating drips of water in a bottle?

Flying will come when you find the right weather, and the right conditions, both environmentally, and spiritually, and physically, and mentally.

I don't want to fly, I want to easily survive dropping off a building. I want a wing suit, that looks like Angle Wings, Fucked Owl Wings, that would also act as a Shelter, and Coat.

Why aren't we using real wing feathers? Birds lose them all the time? Owl wings are designed for near silent flight and I want a suit that can just get me down to like... 120 kmh 90 would be nice 60 would be fantastic Even if I put a skid plate on my face, chest, and knees lmfaooo The small but light suit needs to be able to "bubble gum" When you want to land Watch birds attack pray from above with speed.

Who would be the most receptive and wealthy wingsuit flyer who would enjoy a 100% increase in performance? Or perhaps just a wealthy financier to an old intellectual property right owner from 30 years ago?

Is there a possibility that producing dimples on the helmet (similar to a golf ball) could delay flow separation and be especially helpful in those High AoA situations?

I never thought I'd be watching a presentation of my own accord but here I am lol

Thank you bro much love. This is my dream before I move on to the next dimension. There should be skateboard wingsuit base jumps. Did I mention I want to wingsuit around the world in one flight. I Wana fly with wood

so it should called wingsuit falling :)

Great work. A bit deceived about the poor glide ratio, but it happens years ago and as you say gear quickly improve. The goal of the squirrel challenge was to go as high as possible from a fixed horizon. It seems to me the flare could be more aggressive until getting vertical and maybe even more, but of course less high, loosing power very quickly. A stunt that has probably been imagined, I would love to see it, would be coming from below, flare the maximum until speed zero verically & horizontally... the AoA would then bring the body more than 90°, let say 120 or 150, it would be then possible to grab a net stretched over a canyon it must be well 'computed'... or a rope ladder hanging from a balloon ! If there is enough margin to open safely the chute it does not appear to me as difficult &dangerous as getting inside an aircraft. Does someone saw ir know some video showing vertical flares ?

the term "angle of attack" should be taken out of all non power flight applications. Any real pilots would agree.

...

If you’re thinking about any of this you will crash. Safety is more intuitive than physics...

Wingsguit? Or wingsuit? There’s a typo there at the beginning of the video.

Please make more video about wingshut

I have as thought . . . to slow down wing suit flight, would it make sense to have a second wing above the flyer, similar to a rectangular chute, but much smaller? Sort of a biplane concept . . . obviously this makes things more complicated, how does the main work with this, etc.,

This is a good video, but I was unable to get an answer to a query in my mind. Which is, at what AOA does one need to be flying to hit the highest speed? Case in point, Fraser Corsan who still holds the World Record for highest speed did not necessarily fly at 0° to have the least minimal drag, so what was his AOA?

guys its very simple... this is a classic case of flux using reynolds transport theorem.. Like cmon skydivers havent you taken fluid mechanics before?

this shit doesn’t look safe

wow

Thak you for sharing.

Fantastic visual diagrams.

Any links to vids of inclines at 08:00 please?

Great vid.

awesome vids

Where do you buy them. I'm shocked you can't find more about fitting/ fabrics/ weight and height variables... Plz keep posting these kinda vids. I'll keep likin em.

how would body weight for 2 identical size flyers affect stall parameters? .......similar as loading on aircraft. for example if you had a 25 years old and 50 year old flyer both 6ft tall but the older guy is 10% heavier, what would be the sensitivity of stall speed? 10%? or way worse?......

AOA had some thing to do with lift and drag yes. If you are familiar with the humpback whale and the bumps that cover their leading edges, you might know that this enables stuck a huge animal to perform such right turns in the way they feed. I built a sailboat and epoxied lumps over the keel and forefoot. There is an outfit called whales power who work with this and Amnesiacs Cup boats use the bumps on the foils. Less drag. More lift. It works . Something different to think about.

Excellent videos! I've flown just about everything except a wingsuit. Hang-gliders, paragliders, sailplanes, single and twins so I understand aerodynamics quite well. I'd like to see a video on wingsuit maneuvering, rolling, pitching, increasing/reducing dihedral, and turning. It's hard to decipher watching videos because the inputs are so minute for the most part.

Nice work dude! When will we get more videos like this from you? This has been incredibly informative and quite dense with information.

Great Video thank you ! Bringing another one soon ???

Great video! Thanks a lot!

any more technical videos comin out? for the time being, I will live vicariously through the nerdom of fluid dynamics. but one day, I will understand flying/gliding physically :)

Awesome Videos!! Soon i will be a Wingsuit beginner and this is so valuable to know even before you start, so i can learn i right directly from the beginning. Thanks a lot

Excelent presentation

Eccellente spiegazione.

Thank you very much for that awesome video. I really like your professional and well defined approach to that topic. Is there any chance you publish the slides? I think this is a very good topic for bad weather days in my first flight courses.

Would be curious to learn how you use your control surfaces to change your angle of attack. How does a wingsuit pilot affect their angle of attack?
