| Red Bull Flugtag challenges
teams of everyday people to build homemade, human-powered flying machines
and pilot them off a 30-foot high deck in hopes of achieving flight! Flugtag
may mean "flying day" in German, but all these crafts ultimately
splash into the waters below. They are judged not only on their flight's
distance, but creativity and showmanship as well. |
