The Flying Machines of Flugtag - The Atlantic: "Since 1992, Red Bull has been organizing Flugtag (“flying day”) events around the world, where participants build and pilot homemade flying machines off a 28-foot-high flight deck above a body of water. Entries are judged for distance, creativity, and showmanship. The aerodynamic qualities of many of the creatively built aircraft are questionable, and most do not so much fly as... plummet. In 2013, the team “The Chicken Whisperers” set a distance record of 258 feet (78.64 meters) in Long Beach, California. Gathered here are images of Flugtag events over the past several years.
