BACKGROUND
1903- The Wrights brothers achieved human flight by inventing the airplane. But human flight without the aid of some form of flying vehicle has never been achieved up until recently.
1930s – The wingsuit flying is made up from canvas, silk, wood, steel or whale bone but were rather unreliable and many of the early birdmen died in their attempts to fly.
1990s – Modern wingsuits are the inventions of French skydiver, Patrick de Gayardon that offered excellent performance while allowing the flier to live to fly again another day, which has to be a bonus.
1998- Jari Kuosma and Robert Pecnik created BirdMan Inc. to produce wingsuits that all skydivers and the general public could use.
