Extraordinary competition of flying weird crafts Red Bull Flugtag 2009 took place in Moscow. The place was just packed with crowds of people. Moscowites gathered on the bank of the river to watch this spectacular fun!
33 crews from different regions competed for the first place, wearing the most unusual costumes and jumping to the water with peculiar crafts decorated in a funny way. The machines were launched from the runway which was 6 metres high. In accordance with the rules no power source was allowed to lift the device.
Red Bull Flugtag is an annual event known all over the world. The first competition was in 1991 in Vienna and since then over 40 similar events have been held all over the world. At last it came to Russia too! The competition was well organized.
The flight was assessed according three criteria:
- The length of flight
- Eccentricity of the craft
- Originality of the performance
The record was taken in Austria in 2000, when one of the participants flew almost 60 metres! The winners became the crew “Air bath” from St.Petersburg.
