Default New Birdman Wingsuit: Skyflyer

http://www.blincmagazine.com/base/skyflyer.pdf

[hr]

BirdMan International is proud to present third generation wingsuit, the SKYFLYER.

SKYFLYER is a completely new type of wingsuit made by the creators of BirdMan wingsuits. SKYFLYER is truly high performance third generation wingsuit. Performance of the SKYFLYER is based upon increased forward speed. Less drag means more speed. Speed and bigger surface area with latest aerodynamics means more lift. During our test flights we have reached temporary vertical speeds of 8 m/s or 27 km/h (18 mph). Flying high performance wingsuit like SKYFLYER is a true flying experience and gives you satisfaction beyond imaginary.We have tested the suit over 9 months and finally we are ready to release the most advanced wingsuit of the market. We have invented and developed a brand new technology called Dual Wing system to prevent pilot chute hesitation (situation where pilot chute is caught by the turbulence behind flyers body). We have also designed the wings so that they are not on the way while reaching for pilot chute. The whole suit does not only consist of just three wings but the whole suit partially inflates allowing better aerodynamic form. We have used the same proven technology for the cut-away system(s) for all wings as in our previous models.
SKYFLYER is completely made out of new material (wings and body). We call it Balloon 0-P. It is light, durable, absolutely 0-p and very slick through the air. As a brand new features of the SKYFLYER we are introducing a number of never before seen options that we developed to increase safety, performance and comfort. These options are:
ˇ Dual Wing system for the lover part of your body which makes smooth airflow behind your back creating more lift for greater performance. Dual Wing system also increases your safety by greatly reducing the chance of pilot chute hesitation.
ˇ Front Deflectors which forces the airflow stay longer on the wing creating lift and reducing negative lift that occurs in some occasions at wing tip area.
ˇ Back Deflector (standard) that inflates when exposed to air making better aerodynamic form behind your rig thus increasing performance.
ˇ Lower-wing Quick Release System (LQRS) which gives the flyer possibility to instantly free leg from the suit increasing safety on landing.
ˇ Padded Knees for comfort.
ˇ Stash bag, which can be attached inside the suit.
SKYFLYER is easy to wear and use and naturally also looks good both on the ground and in the air.

As we are introducing our new generation wingsuit, we want you to keep in mind that we have three different models of the wingsuits. These different types are made for different experience levels. Classic II for beginner skyflyers, GTi for advanced flyers and SKYFLYER for experienced and expert skyflyers. SKYFLYER is not made for the beginners. All these suits have their unique characteristics and we designed them to meet different demands from skydivers.


THANK YOU, BLUE AND CLOUDY SKIES!
