Wingsuits - Dare once

Some people mostly like to travel in air. This can be possible only with aeroplanes, parachutes, chopper and some other automobiles.But we cannot fly into air directly like a bird. Around 400 BC some of our ancient humans started research to  build the first artificial flying device.But  machine may have been suspended due to some issues. In 9th century and 11th century the experiments got failed. In 18th century scientist proposed many theories to lift the devices into air. Some of the gliders invented in this period. These gliders can carry passengers from one place to another place.But in 1903 Wright Brothers were recognized for their efforts of building a standard flight which can travel in air. Lot of research gone through these machines to upgrade and make them and to travel around world. So from the past 19th century we are using latest air vehicles to travel. Even now some scientist invented new automobiles to space.  
                                    

We discussed lot of stuff about air vehicles. But some people go crazy to fly in air. This scenario started in 1913 by an 33 year old man. With a wing suit he jumped from the Eiffel Tower to test his invention of a combination of parachute and wing, which was similar to modern wingsuits. He lied the guards by saying that the experiment was going to be conducted with a dummy. He hesitated for along time before he jumped, but he did it.He died of a heart attack before hitting the pavement. So the trail of this experiment failed.


A wingsuit was first used in 1930 by a 19-year-old American, as an attempt to increase horizontal movement during a parachute jump.These early wingsuits were made of materials such as canvas, wood, silk, and even steel. These wingsuits were not very strong, though some people glided for miles. This is because the people are very crazy to fly in air.

The wingsuit flier should enter free fall wearing both a wingsuit and parachute. Exiting an aircraft in a wingsuit requires skilled techniques that differ depending on the location and size of the aircraft door. These techniques include the direction relative to the aircraft and the airflow while exiting, the flier should be very careful while handling this wingsuit because with out proper knowledge of diving into the air he cannot even survive and the way in which the flier spreads his legs and arms at the proper time. The wingsuit immediately starts to fly upon exiting the aircraft in the relative wind generated by the forward speed of the aircraft. Exiting from the jumping place, such as a cliff, or exiting from a helicopter, a paraglider, or a hot air balloon, is fundamentally different from exiting a moving aircraft, as the initial airspeed upon exit is absent. 


                       
Another variations to the wingsuits are already applied by the scientist to design latest suits. Some of them are named as Wingpack, Wingsuit base, and Jet-powered wingsuit. So guys who love to dive in air like a bird just hold a moment and try to think how to be safe
