The flying machines are usually launched off a pier about 30 feet (9.1 m) high into the water. Most competitors enter for the entertainment value, and the flying machines rarely fly at all.
More than 90,000 people witnessed team 'Major Trouble' and the 'Dirty Dixies' soar into victory and the record books when they flew 207 feet at Red Bull Flugtag Twin Cities on July 24, 2010.
This historic flight smashed the previous Red Bull Flugtag world record of 195 feet, which had held strong for more than 10 years.
