Austrian wingsuit pilot Peter Salzmann has pushed the boundaries of human flight, unveiling a groundbreaking wingsuit foil at Switzerland’s Jungfrau mountain. Using this cutting-edge design, Salzmann achieved an engine-free flight lasting almost six minutes, covering 12.5 kilometers and descending 3,402 meters—a feat that set new world records for Longest BASE Flight Time, Furthest BASE Flight Distance, and Largest BASE Jump from launch to landing.
