Red Bull Flugtag, meaning “Flying Day” in German is coming to Boston.
Even if you’re not brave (or crazy) enough to apply….I think being a spectator for this spirited mayhem would be a blast!
Mark Your Calendars now!
Applications and “craft designs” are due by May 13th.
The Red Bull Flugtag event will be held on August 20th at the DCR Hatch Memorial Shell.
Red Bull Flugtag is back in 2016 and is once again challenging wannabe pilots to push the limits of human flight. Since 1991, Red Bull Flugtag (which translates to “Flying Day” in German) has made stops around the world challenging competitors to build and pilot homemade human powered flying machines. For the first time ever, the brave and brainy teams of five will take a flying leap off a 28-foot-high flight deck into the water below in both Boston, Massachusetts and Louisville, Kentucky.
Applications are now being accepted for both locations and carpenters, athletes, designers, engineers, entertainers, and everyone in-between can turn their dreams of flight into reality. Five-Member teams of aspiring aviators and courageous craftsmen can apply for a chance to compete by submitting flying-machine plans to http://www.RedBullFlugtag.com. The deadline to submit craft designs is May 13.
