Peter Salzmann breaks the world’s longest wingsuit with a foil flight record.

Wingsuit pilot Peter Salzmann made history by leaping from a mountain ledge in Switzerland and achieving record-breaking distances. Starting his flight from the Jungfrau mountain at 4,063 meters, he wore a revolutionary wingsuit with a special foil to soar faster and farther.

Shortly after launching, he reached a top speed of 200 km/h and glided for nearly six minutes without engine power, covering 12.5 kilometers before safely deploying his parachute and landing between Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken.
