Improving Wingsuit Performance (proposed research)

Wingsuit flying is the newest skydiving discipline. Wingsuits have flying surfaces attached to the arms and legs of a skydiver that enable the skydiver to fly large horizontal distances with a very slow descent rate. Despite the amazing advances in this new sport, Team Eagle Wingsuit believes that the design and construction of wingsuits is suboptimal due to the type of materials used to make wingsuits, the type of airfoils used and the configuration of current wingsuits. Team Eagle Wingsuit believes that by methodical scientific investigation the performance of a wingsuit can be measured and we can discover techniques that can be used to gently improve the performance of wingsuits
